Who Can Host a Fundraiser with Skyline Cruises?
- Schools – Raising money in the name of education, what could be better than that? School fundraising is the practice of raising money to support educational enrichment programs by schools or school groups. School functions are some of our favorite events to host at Skyline Cruises. We love having a community of students, educators, and staff to show school spirit while having a great time!
- Religious Institutions – Churches and other religious institutions play a significant role in their communities. Members often give a lot of their own time, effort, and money, so offering a fundraiser that provides value for the donors and the church helps prevent burnout. Having the community come together to enjoy an evening aboard the Skyline Princess is a terrific way to build community further and have fun!
- Non-profits – Looking for a way to rally folks together to raise money for your non-profit? Nothing brings people together quite like a Skyline Cruise! Donors will experience NYC like never before aboard the Skyline Princess, where they can sightsee, dine, and dance beneath the stars on our open-air top deck, the Skylight Deck.
- Corporate – Ready to get your staff out of the office to enjoy a night on the water? Want to raise funds at the same time? We’ve hosted many corporate fundraisers, and they are always a hit. Not only are you raising money, but you are always providing an opportunity to boost morale!

Here are some of our favorite fundraising themes we’ve been a part of that work great for all ages and walks of life!
- Bingo Night – Not just for senior citizens, bingo nights are a fun way for guests of all ages to participate. Guests can play for either donated prizes or cash. Many bingo night events include raffles and silent auctions as additional ways to raise money.
- Comedy Night – Gather past, present, and hopefully future donors for an evening of jokes told by local comedians while sailing the New York Harbor and enjoying the New York City skyline. Everyone loves to laugh!
