Fundraisers are a wonderful way to raise awareness and support for a cause. Successful fundraisers will help attract new donors as well as build existing donor relationships. For a fundraiser to be successful, however, it will require a ton of planning and hard work.
One of the most important factors when planning a fundraiser is finding the perfect venue. The right venue creates the right atmosphere, and the right atmosphere will attract the right donors. If you are searching for the perfect venue for your upcoming corporate fundraiser, look no further than Skyline Cruises.

Fundraiser Ideas Aboard a Skyline Cruise
So now that you have found the ideal waterfront venue that promises spectacular views, you need to decide a theme for your fundraiser to ensure it packs a punch. To help you get started, our party planning experts have put together some attention-grabbing ideas for fundraisers aboard the Skyline Princess:
- Chinese auction: A popular fundraising event are Chinese auctions, which are a cross between a silent auction and a raffle. Common auction items include gift baskets, tickets, and gift certificates which are typically donated by local shops and restaurants. Due to the variety of donations, there is always something for everyone to bid on.
- 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: Who doesn’t love a good laugh? 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.
