How to Run a Race Night for Fundraising

If a fundraising issue has been keeping you awake, a charity race night might be the most effective remedy to restore your peace of mind. Recorded under

the Lotteries and Amusement Act of 1976, race nights are absolutely legal and are an excellent means of raising fund for your charity, club or society.

They also serve the purpose of building up a team spirit by bringing in all the club members together for a warm, enjoyable evening. All the races are on a

film and can be easily projected onto a screen at your nearest church hall, social club or community centre. So you do not have to worry aboutbooking a race course either. With just a bit of preplanning and preparation you can be

quite sure of making your race night a grand success.

Before moving on to the big day let us get familiar with the people who work at various levels to make the most out of the event.Event Manager-After you fix a date, this person sorts out a suitable venue and a projector for viewing the race. He tries to find a place with a bar .Because if your race night can

bring in someextra customers to the bar there is every chance that you may even get venue absolutely for free.

Marketing Manager-This person advertises your event and pulls in as many punters as possible. From time to time he keeps on reminding them about the date giving them

no chance to miss it.Promotion Manager-This person gets in touch with the local companies in order to get

some sponsorship for your race.Tote Ticket Sellers and Pay out Clerks-These people persuade the punters to buy the

tickets and help in giving away the prize money to the winners.Master of Ceremonies-He informs the punters and the audiences about the updates

of the receiver the microphone.

IT IS TIME WE WALK TOWARDS THE BIG DAY Normally 6 to 8 races are run on a day, each lasting for 5 minutes. At the beginning of event the MC announces the names of the horses, price of the tickets and checks if

everyone has a programme schedule .He informs the punters about the favourites and the outsiders so that there are further bets and naturally a bigger pay-out. To give a ‘live’ feel to the event he updates the audience about the ‘going’ of the race night

from time to time.

Tickets are sold from the tote before the race .Make sure the tote ticket sellers and the pay-out clerks are sitting in a well lit area visible to everyone .And yes, don’t forget to keep them stuffed with a plenty of change for the float .The betting is usually closed after 5 minutes and the race run on the projector.After the results are declared, the

winner collects the prize from the tote .It is wise to keep an interval of 10 to 20 minutes between each race to avoid confusion and boost bar sales.
