The benefits of a Dunk Tank: Fundraising

Last year my friend, Gavin, embarked on a fundraising effort, raising money to help build a new gym for an impoverished inner-city school. He struggled with traditional ideas, then an opportunity presented itself. Gavin was given a free booth at a local fair, and realized he would have thousands of people at his fingertips on a nice warm early Fall Saturday.

The year before, the industrious Gavin had sold raffle to tickets for two seats to a Kelly Clarkson concert. He’d done pretty well, but he wanted to exceed the previous years efforts. What would tempt the passersby to drop some coin into his charity’s coffers? A dunk tank! Gavin rustled up some swim suited cuties (guy and girl) and put them on the "Hot Seat" at the top of the giant water dunk tank. For a small fee, customers threw balls at the attached targets and if they hit them, the person got a little wet. (Okay…a lot wet.) To say the crowd went wild for the dunk tank is an understatement. Gavin raised nearly triple the money he had planned too, and that included deducting the minimal cost of the dunk tank. Tons fun, money raised, and nobody drowned! Trifecta!
