CASINO FUNDRAISER/COMEDY CLUB - HOLY COW!
Sunday, November 24th, 3pm to 8pm
LOCATION: ELGIN
Last year we had our first ever Black Tie Gala/Fundraiser (and live naked auction) and it was a GREAT success! We raised over $1200 for a local kids charity. The money was spent to help provide Thanksgiving dinners for families, winter coats for children and much more!
This year we are kicking things up a notch for an event you don’t want to miss!
We start out with our first ever Casino Night! Everyone in attendance will get “chips” to play the Chicago Fun Club’s version of some classic casino (and very non casino) games! They will be fun and silly and if you have any skills they will just get in the way!
While the games are going on, we will also have a silent auction with many super cool items to bid on! We also have been gifted a number of nude paintings by a soon to be famous Chicago artist! (Seriously!)
About half way through the event, we will transform the space into a “theater” and the BEST naked comedians in the Midwest will perform for us! As usual we will have about 4 Improv Comedians and then 6 Stand up comedians!
So we get to play fun games, bid on awesome items for the silent auction, and watch the best naked comedians around! ALL to raise money to help children in need.
WHERE IS THIS COOL EVENT?
We are holding this event at our favorite craft bar in Elgin! There is plenty of space, easy parking and great beer! (cash/credit bar for all drinks)
PLUS PIZZA!
This will be a longer event than usual, so we will fill your bellies with tons of awesome pizza!!!
HOW DOES A SILENT AUCTION WORK ?
We will have tables set up with the items for auction. Each item will have a paper next to it detailing the item’s actual value and minimum bid. All you have to do is write your name/email address and bid amount! Everyone will have an opportunity to bid, out bid, and get out bid on every item! The winner of each item is the highest bid that reaches the minimum reserve price or anyone that is willing to pay the “buy it now” price. You must be able and willing to purchase the item at the event to secure it. The Silent Auction will have items between $10 and $40 in “actual” value give or take. Something for everyone!
WHO ARE WE FUNDRAISING FOR?
Katie and I are involved in a small organization that helps needy families in the western suburbs. They do things like provide Thanksgiving dinners, coat drives, supply closets for schools and support local food pantries. We know that 100% of the money they receive will go to help people not towards overhead or salaries. As the funds we raise are spent, we will be sure to keep everyone informed. We aren’t naming them in group emails or online to protect them from any unusual publicity they could get being associated with a nudist group. We will of course name them at the event! If you would like more information before then, please feel free to email us.
WILL MY DONATION BE TAX DEDUCTIBLE?
The short answer is no, sorry.
SOUNDS AWESOME, HOW CAN I HELP ?
There are two ways you can help!
First, you can come to this awesome event and bid on some items!
Second, if you can bring an item worth at least $20 in value (or more of course) for the silent auction! Gift cards, theme baskets, nudist related items, something from your business or job, or who knows ? Be creative and have fun! If you want to donate an item, but won’t be able to make the event, let us know so we figure out picking it up. Please make sure whatever you bring has an easily verifiable value. Items should be new/like new unless a collectible. Ask your favorite restaurant/shop to donate a gift certificate!
