A corporate event can offer an excellent opportunity to give something back to the local community. The next time you're planning a corporate event or team building exercise, why not incorporate a way to raise some money for your favourite local charity? Find out how to encourage donations with some top tips to get you started.
The Power of Online Fundraising
To raise as much money for your chosen charity as possible, it's a great idea to embrace online technology. It offers an excellent level of immediacy, ensuring potential donators can find out everything they need to know about the organisation at the click of a button.
Online donations are also very efficient for the charity, making sure they get the money quickly as well as potential contact details for future campaigns. Be sure to promote your fundraising efforts through your own website and social media channels and also offer as many ways to donate as possible. The easier you make it for people to give money, the more likely it is that they will.
If you're thinking about choosing a charity for your next corporate event, get your fundraising started early by setting up online donation options before the event itself.
Fundraising on the Night
Of course, just because you've been raising money online it doesn’t mean you won't want to make the most of possibilities on the night. Be sure you have an attractive and also accommodating venue that can help you organise everything from on-site donations to charity auctions.
Located in scenic Sans Souci, The Waterfront Function Centre is a gorgeous Sydney function venue that will be happy to work with you in creating an excellent fundraising event. Call (02) 8999 8502 for more details on their event packages.

It doesn't matter whether you're a girly girl who's always loved the colour pink or you're simply looking for a romantic addition to a traditional wedding gown design, a splash of crimson or a touch of pastel pink is a wonderful way to add a unique spin to your wedding dress.
How to Perfect the Pink Touch
Adding a little splash of pink to your wedding ensemble is a great way to combine traditional designs with a contemporary twist. Some of the most effective additions include embellishments at the hem or neckline, gorgeous pink ribbons cinching the waist and sweet accents such as flowers.
When choosing to add a touch of pink to your wedding gown, you'll also want to consider the shade you're going for. A pale pink is perfect for a soft and feminine look while a rich, damson pink is ideal for a dramatic, sweeping design.
Your Special Day, Your Perfect Dress
Of course, if a touch of pink isn't enough for you don't feel as though you have to limit your love of colour. It's your wedding day and no one else's, so if you decide you'd rather the whole dress was deep pink then you should go with your instincts.
Matching Dress and Décor
You may also want to consider complementing your dress with matching pink highlights in your wedding day décor. Always choose a wedding venue that will be happy to help you pick out and set up all of the decorations you desire.
