About the event
Get ready to turn fun into dough for your local business and non-profit! Our sponsors are here to pay our club members for their business. Clubs are competing for funding to support their causes by referring business to our sponsors.
How It Works:
Monthly Meetings:
Shop For Fun-Dough members gather every 2nd Friday of the month from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. During these lively meetings, sponsors have the opportunity to share about their businesses with the non-profit attendees (club members). Each sponsor gets 5 minutes to engage with the audience, creating a memorable connection with attendees.
Schedule:
9am-9:30: Open Networking
9:30-9:40: Announcements and Education
9:40-10:15 Round 1 of sponsor commercials
10:15-10:45: Break
10:45-11:15: Round 2 sponsor commercials
11:15-11:30: Raffle and closing announcements for next month
Club Member Competition:
Our dynamic, non-profit club members compete for funding to support their causes by actively referring businesses to our sponsors. In return, sponsors pay for a yearly membership to receive valuable referrals from club members. It's that simple!
Fun-Dough Accumulation:
During our monthly meetings and throughout the rest of the month, club members are given opportunities to earn Fun-dough. The main way club members earn Fun-dough is by doing business with our sponsors. Club members keep track of their receipts from sponsor transactions. The more they spend with sponsors, the more Fun-dough they earn. This Fun-dough will later be redeemed for cash to further support their non-profit causes.
Networking Breaks:
The meeting is divided into two sessions with a 30-minute break in the middle. During this break, club members engage directly with sponsors at their tables, asking questions and building connections. As a token of appreciation, sponsors compensate club members with Fun-dough during these interactions.
Quarterly Fun-Dough Turn-In:
At the end of each quarter, the accumulated Fun-dough for every club is calculated. Each club is then assigned a percentage of the overall Fun-dough pool based on their performance. This percentage is crucial because it determines the club's share of the sponsorship pot at the end of the year. December is when our awards breakfast is held, and this is when our club members are awarded the funding for their non-profits. Every year we award thousands of dollars to our local non-profit organizations.
Ways To Earn Fun-Dough:
Make a purchase with our sponsors and turn in your receipts to earn more
fun-dough dollars! If your purchase amount is under $1000 then it gets multiplied by 2000 and if it is 1000 or more it gets multiplied by 200. Anything above $10,000 and above gets multiplied by 20. Anything $100,000 gets multiplied by 2.
