Kansas State University Student Chapter

The Travel and Dining Auction is an excellent way of raising money in a way that also improves connections with club managers and benefits the student chapter as a whole. The items to be auctioned off include items donated by clubs across the United States, and the only way to get these is to network. From here you also get to network with other students and individuals in the hospitality industry, with a night of great food and hospitality items. All the proceeds go to fund scholarships as well as travel to the World Conference on Club Management and the National Student Conference on Club Management.

The idea was implemented because we needed to raise funds for our chapter to go to the world conference. The raffle as implemented by distributing a letter to general managers of clubs in the western New York area and requesting them to donate items. The items were then picked-up from the clubs and made into two baskets and raffled off at the Club Chef’s Holiday Table.

The Cornell Chapter hosted its first ever fundraiser golf outing in an effort to raise funds for both charity and our student chapter members that are attending conference. The outing grossed $11,000 and resulted in $6,000 in profit.

USC CMAA was in need to raise money, FAST! The fundraising committee introduced the idea to host bake sales. USC CMAA raised a quick $150.00 from two bake sales. The chapter volunteered to help with the Carolinas Chapter Raintree Student Tournament, and generated more than $2000.00, which helped send eighteen students to conference. The holiday cookie sale was an idea submitted by a USC CMAA member.

In October of 2007 we ran a golf tournament at Harrisburg Country Club. Throughout November and December we hosted Ice Cream night and Bowling night. Both were a lot of fun and helped to pay for conference and traveling expenses. The silent auction will take place in April.

Fundraising activities are the main source of funds for our club. We use funds to help students subsidize costs for conference and to allow more opportunities to grow our club. The golf tournament is not only a fundraiser, but an enjoyable social experience.
