Ways to Raise Funds From Your Race Night

Contact us to organise a race night.

1. Entrance Ticket:
All admission must be by pre-paid ticket  €3 or €5 inc race card. The cost of the ticket should be reasonable, since you want to attract as many people as possible. Nevertheless, you should price the ticket so that as much of your start-up costs as possible are covered, such as fee for the venue, printing, Race night hire is €400 inc Vat which includes 2 M.C’s, DJ if required, 2 Tote Personnel, Rental of Race Night Equipment, Race Card Costs.

2. Sponsorship:
Approach local businesses and other suppliers and ask them to sponsor one of the races for some nominal sum, i.e.: £50. In return, the sponsor will have their name/logo on the race card and receive exposure to a room full of potential customers.

3. Horse Owners:
Encourage guests and other interested parties to buy a horse for a small sum (e.g. £10). When you sell 8 horses x £10 = £80. The owner of the winning horse will then receive £50 The rest of the money received from horse owners is retained by the Charity  organization. This can ensure that you start your Race Night in profit. This will also encourage owners to turn up on the night to see their name on the race card and how their chosen Horses perform.

4. Race Card:
To add a professional touch, you should have a race card, however simple or extravagant. This will list all the Race Sponsors and Horse owners. By selling each Race card, you are also providing the audience with the chance to win in a number draw later in the event. We supply a Microsoft "excel" template with our Horse names so that you can easily produce and print an authentic race card.

5. Tote Ticket Sales:
This is the main activity. The audience is able to buy as many tickets as they like for each of the 8 runners in each race. The host organization is entitled to retain a significant share of the total ticket money staked for each race. We would suggest 25% to  50%  is about right. There is no limit on this or on the cost of each ticket or on the amounts of tickets that your audience can buy. The more the merrier for all concerned.

6. Arrival:
Try to get all invited people to the venue for 8.30pm for a 9pm kick off. Advertise the event in your work place and any other venues to ensure a good crowd. You really near 60 people or over to give a good atmosphere. We can cater for up to 200 persons.
