Gala fund-raisers can be very rewarding after you can see the outcome, but they can also be a lot of work to plan. Gala fund-raiser events are upscale or formal parties meant to provide enjoyment to guests while benefiting a cause. When planning a gala fund-raiser, remember to make the event elegant, but simple. Keep with the fund-raiser theme when planning the event so that guests are clear about the purpose of the fund-raiser.
Raise money for sports teams, after school clubs or charity by selling chocolate. There are many choices for which brand, type and flavor of chocolate to sell. Candy bars are the most popular choice with name brands selling very well. Chocolate suckers are another popular item as they are small, easy to transport and can be sold for a low as $1. All of the reputable chocolate fund raising suppliers have websites available online. Among these are Hershey's, Chocolatiers and World's Finest.
When the Disney/Pixar movie "Cars" was released in 2006, the names Lightning McQueen, Doc Hudson and Mater became household names in families with toddlers and children. Since then, racing-themed parties have become increasingly popular, especially centered on the characters in "Cars." It is not difficult to plan for a "Cars"-inspired party. The key is to incorporate the colors and racing-themed items as much as possible so the party "speeds" to success.
If your child is a fan of the Disney/Pixar animated film, "Cars," there is no better way to celebrate a birthday than with an exciting "Cars"-themed party.

A slot car is a small, remotely controlled car that moves along a track. A guide on each car fits into a slot, which is inserted into the track, allowing the car to move. Slot car racing is an exciting activity for people of any age and can be an especially fun theme for a child's birthday party.
Car racing themes for parties can be done for any age group. Ideas for the party include creating a car-themed cake, decorating the party using racing props and decorations, and sending out invitations with racing car graphics. Cakes or cupcakes for the party can be done in team colors or in a favorite color of the guest of honor. Send out invitations decorated with car art using actual photographs or fun, hand-drawn art.
