We enjoy doing fundraisers at Stacey’s at Waterford with nonprofit groups to give back to the community that support us. Our goal is to create mutually-beneficial, successful events that promote and support worthy causes.

GENERAL INFORMATION

DAYS: We usually hold fundraisers on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday and Thursdays. . For large events, we will consider hosting them over a multi-day period.

TIMES: Single day events are generally held over a three-hour interval, starting at either 11:00 am or 5:00 pm.

REVIEW PROCESS: Attached you will find a request form, which we ask that you fill out as completely as possible. We’re asking the types of questions that can determine just how successful your proposed event will be. Hopefully, the form may even give you issues to think about prior to your event. Here’s what we’re looking for –
• A legitimate, compelling, non-controversial cause
• Well-thought out plans
• “Decent” participation (a minimum of 40 people participating, or $300 in sales)
• Plenty of lead time
• Effective promotional strategy
• Win-win opportunities

HOW THEY TYPICALLY WORK: Stacey’s at Waterford totals the amount of sales generated by your fundraiser and gives your organization a check for 15 to 20 percent of that total (depending on total sales). To track sales for your fundraiser, our Stacey’s graphic designer will create a custom flyer for your organization. You print up and distribute these to anyone who would like to participate. Everyone who participates in your fundraiser must turn in a flyer for us to credit the 15-20 percent to your organization.

If your group has a different fundraising idea, please don’t hesitate to propose it to us.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU AND YOUR GROUP: We need a primary contact person with whom to meet and work out details. We need planning and organization on your group’s end. The success of the fundraiser will depend largely on your group’s ability to promote the event and invite community participation!

A FEW RULES: All participants must turn in a flyer at the time their order is taken to have their sale credited to your fundraiser. Under no circumstances will you be allowed to distribute the flyers to customers either in or entering Stacey’s at Waterford (i.e., outside our doors) on the day(s) of your event.

WHAT STACEY’S AT WATERFORD WILL PROVIDE: Great food, service and a fun atmosphere, of course. We will create the flyer for your event. We can work with you to create a special theme in Stacey’s at Waterford for your particular event. Depending on the anticipated size and scope of the event, Stacey’s may provide:
• Assistance with advertising design
• Joint advertising for your event
• Special flyers and posters to publicize the event

RESERVING YOUR EVENT:
Stacey’s at Waterford receives dozens of requests for fundraisers each year. Plan and ask early! If you have questions, please call Stacey’s at Waterford and ask for our Event Coordinator Billy Gold.
