[Hidden-tech] Seeking Seasoned Fundraisers - Hot Sox tickets

[Amy Zuckerman]

Hi Hidden Techies,


I am eagerly seeking seasoned fundraisers to help me hone my fledgling
Ticket Buy / Sell Green Fundraising business.


I am  finding out slowly and very surely that I am a novice at this business
and need someone or a group to figure out the best ways to raise money from
the sale of lucrative sports tickets.


EXAMPLE: I have 20 right now for the Sox  - last game at Fenway (18) and
last game with the Sox at Yankee Stadium (2). I am hoping, and very quickly,
to find a way to legitimately sell them for donation ASAP. The question is
how.


I am in communication with some business clubs and the development office at
a local school, plus a number of large fundraising organizations such as The
Jimmy Fund below. I think I'm on the right track, but would love to join
forces with those in Hidden Tech who are experts in this field.


If you can help please CALL ME at 253-4124 (messages). My cell is
413-548-0030 (txt and as a phone, only).

best,

Amy Zuckerman

Hidden Tech founder



PURPOSE OF TICKET / BUY SELL GREEN FUNDRAISING CO-OPERATIVE BUSINESS




It is Valleywood (r) Production's aim to build up this co-operative sports
ticket buy/ sell business to both raise money for STEM ED and alternative
energy causes, and to make work for many people. We are focusing on sporting
events right now to build awareness of the need to build a green economy
among a far wider group of society than those who normally support
environmental causes. Plus, sports tickets are highly coveted and are worth
a great deal as fundraising tools.

I am hoping you will publicize that Valleywood (r) Productions is seeking
partners to raise money to support their "green" causes.These may be clubs,
non-profits, training companies or business networks of all kinds. Donors
receive a charitable deduction or business expense depending on the type of
organization receiving the funds.

Some of the organizations we are reaching to partner for future drives
include The Jimmy Fund (supporter of Dana Farber cancer research), Rotary
Clubs, Chambers of Commerce, other school departments and public colleges /
universities, the Boston Red Sox and Celtics franchises. It is our hope that
enough money will be raised to purchase tickets for a wide variety of
sporting events to be used as the basis of future drives.

My main concern is ensuring that we build a "green" future by educating or
training "kids of all ages" in "green" professions, trades or to build
alternative energy businesses. We don't have a green future without the
scientists, engineers, or technology experts who will drive research. We
need entrepreneurs to build alternative energy companies and marketing /
sales professionals to sell their products, and much more.

Valleywood (r) Productions produces and promotes the fundraisers, ONLY. We
are not a licensed fundraising business. We do not take money from donors.
We work with a wide variety of like-minded partners to raise money for their
causes.

This new fundraising line is a co-operative business. We are hiring project
managers to increase our outreach. Those who invest in the business with
time or money become co-owners.

A total of $1600 was purchased for 26 Red Sox tickets. Two weeks ago $240
was raised to support Co-op Power in Greenfield, Mass. Donors won six
tickets as part of this pilot program.
