There are so many people giving back to their community. Some volunteer or make a cash or an in kind donation. Others might hold a car wash, bake sale, hockey tournament, sell spring flowers etc. When an individual, community group or business takes on the planning of an activity/event and all the net proceeds are given to a charity that was acknowledged throughout the event, that is called a third party event.
Why would someone host a third party event? Well there are several reasons:
- A community group fulfilling their mission and goal
- A company may see this as a way to live out their values and corporate social responsibility
- It can help raise a company’s profile in the community
- They can help increase morale and can facilitate team building
- Individually, it can be a way to support a family member, friend or neighbour
- It provides a sense of belonging to something bigger than yourself
- It allows an individual or group to feel like part of a community
