Anyone organised a charity event?

[emmawill]

Has anyone organised a charity before? I really want to try and organise an event for the rainbow trust and I have never organise one before and any advice would be very gratefully recived I'm thinking on doing a childrens cloths sale type thing.

Please help

I have!! We had children's clothes parties at my old playgroup. There was a woman who sold clothes party plan style and we got a percentage of proceeds, charged admission on the door, provided wine and crisps etc.
Alternatively, local shops can do a fashion show, using various child models from school/playgroup/family.
You can have a clothes swap party where people pay admission and a set fee per item they tak home.
What do you need to know?
