Most of the time - any time is "GOOD"!
In South Africa during the summer, most people are keen to wear t-shirts and this makes for a great time to potentially run a ChristianGear® fundraiser event! Take advantage of this! Lay out your tentative group or organizations schedule and see what events may open an opportunity to include a fundraiser. Could you add a t-shirt sale to a play or concert, carnival, camp, bake sale, car wash, or maybe a Mothers Day or Youth Day event?
Also see what you can incorporate a fundraising Kick-Off with. If you already have a planned event where all your members will be present, can you pass out brochures and get sellers excited there?
Towards the end of year season, people are usually planning their holiday events, festivals they plan to attend, but most of all at this time of year people are very open to helping out church and Christian groups in their needs. The spirit of giving is seen everywhere. Churches, ministries and Christian organizations are preparing for their annual play, fellowship meetings, brunches, and the likes. Could you set up a stall to go along with these activities or coordinate your promotion with theirs to begin your Kick-Off when their event ends? Besides the potential for actual sales promotion, showing your groups activity in and commitment to the community is great public relations for the group. People will appreciate and remember the groups that are showing their area allegiance. Take advantage of whatever you can! It can only help you!
