“FUN-Raisers” Fundraisers
A program based on the simple notion of community around great food.
Just about everyone has a cause that’s close to the heart, whether it’s band instruments or school programs for kids, team uniforms, or even curing a disease. A Jumpin’ Jonny’s Fundraiser brings it all together with a fun, flavorful evening at Jumpin’ Jonny’s Steaks & Subs, specially set up for your non-profit organization, resulting in a donation of 15% of the sales from your group. It’s that easy!
How to throw a Jumpin’ Jonny’s Fundraiser
1. Fill out a Fundraiser reservation form, including date, time and location(s). You’ll need your organization’s Tax I.D. number.
2. We’ll send an e-mail confirmation for your event, and a Fundraiser Flyer customized just for you.
3. Advertise! E-mail and hand out flyers to everyone you know (and even a few people you don’t).
4. Your charitable organization will get 15% of each sale when your flyer is presented to our cashier on the night of the event. AWESOME! Relax and enjoy your evening at Jumpin’ Jonny’s knowing that you’re making people happy and making money for your organization. Your big fundraiser check will arrive 4-6 weeks after the event.

Tips to make your event a big, smashing success:
After you’ve reserved your Fundraiser date, take these steps to create the biggest turnout and largest donation to your cause.
· Put a flyer in your organization’s newsletter.
· Announce your Jumpin’ Jonny’s Fundraiser on your website, and add a link to a downloadable PDF of the flyer.
· Attach the flyer to an e-mail going out to the family, friends, office, etc.
· Call your local newspaper. They’re always looking for information on charitable events in the community.
· Pass out flyers during the large gatherings, group meetings and area sporting events.
· Announce the fundraiser on the P.A. system at a local event.
· Most importantly, cast a wide net. Talk to everybody. There are plenty of fish in the sea. The more people that come to your Fundraiser, the more money your fund-lovin’ organization will earn. And don’t worry if everyone can’t stay for dinner. They can order take-out too.
