Everybody enjoys a fun time. Even better is a fun time that promotes a good cause. Is disaster relief a cause that's close to your heart? Then why not organize a fundraiser to support Brethren Disaster Ministries?

A fundraiser can involve sales, food, a sporting event, a performance, a theme, and more. Here's a handful of examples–

• Disaster relief auction
• Ice cream social
• Dinner and silent auction
• Benefit concert
• Barbecue or chili cook-off
• Mother-daughter tea party
• Pancake breakfast
• Dinner theater
• Walkathon, bike-a-thon, or 5K race
• Golf tournament
• Traditional bake sale
• Hymn sing
• Theme events - Dunkard Days, Apple Festival, Christmas Bazaar, Valentine's Day Chocolate Brunch, etc.
• Special Sunday offering

Whatever you choose to do, your efforts will help Brethren Disaster Ministries restore hope to disaster survivors in their darkest hour.
