On the day of the event, all the boxers gather up and throw as many punches as they each can in one minute.

The money is automatically collected and deposited to your organization.

Sweet and simple.

We have done this before.  Over 5 years we more than tripled our donations and quadrupled the number of people reached.

You get:

• A start to finish timeline to keep on on track and maximize the donation potential.
• Recommendations and requirements for planning, timing, location, marketing, committee members and recipients.
• Checklists to make sure you did everything you can to reach as many people as possible.
• Ideas, recommendations and "best practices".
• Custom social posts, emails, flyers and posters.  You can use them as-is or customize them for your event.
• Custom online donation and tracking platform.  Donors and participants can track the progress with leaderboards, see a grand tally of all the donations, see a countdown timer and watch the live streamed event.
• Secure online donation processing from anywhere in the word.
• Recommendations and requirements for the final event  - t-shirts, tables, chairs, food, volunteer jobs, forms, scripts, banners, posters, sponsor posters, etc. (We can print your posters and banners an for additional fee.)
• Thank you notes for your donors, sponsors and participants so they will come back next year.
• Gotchas and Non-recommendations to keep your event simple, short and effective.  It is easy to clutter up a fundraiser with raffles, bake sales, auctions, vendors, contests, speakers, sales pitches, celebrities and awards.

We require that the recipients of the funds from Punching for Parkinson's  eventsbe valid 501 (c)(3) non-profit organizations so that all of the donations are tax deductible.

Request a Consultation so we can talk through the process and make sure that a Punching for Parkinson's event is a good fit for you and your organization.

The organization receiving the funds must be a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.   We will contact the organization to confirm their status and verify their intent to support the Parkinson's community or research for the cure.

The funds will go directly the non-profit of your choosing after all of the pledges and donations have been processed.
