Fundraising Events

Keep 100% of the donations generated by our fundraising event.

Most of our first-time fundraisers make $500 to $5000, and repeated events grow year after year.

Our family portrait photography event is a brilliant way for your church, school, youth group or nonprofit to raise funds. Virtually any group, club, team or organization can use the event successfully, and the fundraiser is simple and easy to do:

First, members of your group ask people in your community to support your group’s activities, efforts or cause; suggested donations generally range from $10 - $50.
Second, your group thanks donors with a complimentary professional photography session and high-quality portrait gift (valued at $70 - $150 in most studios).
Third, we bring a complete, professional portrait studio to your location to provide a fun and fabulous studio experience for all the donors’ families.

We can help you put the "fun" into fundraising

Our way of fundraising doesn’t involve door-to-door sales; usually the gift portrait opportunity is offered to people already known to you and your group – friends, extended family, neighbors, co-workers, etc.

We provide the event, professional services, promotional materials, and valuable gift portraits as part of our marketing budget, so there’s no risk and no cost to your group. In addition to the donations generated upfront, your group can also receive substantial bonuses as the number of families participating in your event increases.

Since our fundraising event is so easy to do and gets such positive feedback, it's also easy to repeat again and again. Many of our fundraisers have been repeated annually for ten to fifteen years in a row.

We can help you create successful fundraisers, too.

Schools & Youth Groups

Our fundraising events are suitable for all age groups, especially since they don't rely on door-to-door approaches. Most kids know several families who would be interested in donating to support their class, group, club or team. As a "Thank you," donors receive a valuable gift portrait and complimentary sitting. Donations can be made online if you prefer, so kids don't have to be responsible for collecting cash.

Churches

We help churches of all denominations raise funds for a variety of reasons. Our fundraising events can serve your church group, choir, or entire congregation, but they don't stop there. Our events are meant to reach beyond the walls of your church into the wider community, bringing in much needed resources.

Nonprofits

Our fundraisers serve an extensive range of nonprofit organizations. We can tailor a fundraising event to support your group's activities or efforts; we've helped raise funds for a variety of needs and causes.

Testimonials

Senior Class

Church Groups

"Vision Events provides one of the best fund raisers we’ve found for our high school’s Senior Class. We’ve been sponsoring the portrait fund raiser every year for the past twelve years because it always works. The students like it because it’s easy and because it’s always clear exactly what money they’re making; what the kids don’t realize is that they’re also learning something of a life lesson …what you get out of it depends on whatever effort you’re willing to put into it. Some of the kids earn all of the money they need for their Senior Class trip to Disneyland just from this fund raiser alone. The families that get their portraits done are very pleased with the studio work – the portraits are really nice and the photographer is terrific with people. We have lots of loyal families who do this fund raiser year after year, long after their own student graduates, because they’re so happy with their pictures."

Sally White, W.A.S.A. Director

"This will be the fifth year our Youth Education Department is doing a family portrait fund raiser for all of our church’s youth groups. The parents say, 'What a ganga deal!' The free portraits are always great, and the quality and price of the extra pictures are the best in town. There’s no 'fine print' and there’s never any catch. And their photographer is such a delight to work with! I continue to recommend Vision Events Photography to other churches and to everybody I know who needs a good fund raiser."

Molly Nelson, Fund Raising Chairperson

"I've recommended Vision Events to half a dozen fundraising groups over the past 17 years. It's worked for my church and daycare, my kids' schools, and also to raise money for the deaf community. Church and youth groups love it. This is the best and easiest fundraiser I've ever found."

"What can I say … I love this event!

DECA started the fall fundraiser here ten years ago, then Yearbook got on board, then our Middle School demanded a piece of the action, and now Soccer wants in. The beauty of this fundraiser is that everybody can get involved and it doesn’t diminish anybody’s results. The more the merrier. Every year our High School office starts getting calls the first day of school from folks in town asking, 'When are those picture people coming?' They want to make sure they don’t get left out when our event rolls around. I don’t know of any other fund raiser where people call you to give you money."

Pam Hughes, Yearbook Adviser

"When we started doing this event for Little League, we didn't know that the school baseball and softball teams would catch on, too. We didn't need to worry, though, because combining our events made more money for each team."

Bob Franklin, Coach

"We both do family portrait fundraisers at our schools each spring. It works for fifth-graders and it works for high school kids because it’s simple to explain and easy to do. Everybody already knows some families in their neighborhood and just about every family needs portraits. It never costs us anything to do our family portrait fundraisers, and we like it that the Vision Events Photography staff provides our materials in Spanish as well as English."

"If you ask me, the best thing about this fund raiser is that it's different from everything else out there: there's nothing to buy and resell, you don't have to go door to door, you don't have to memorize some stupid sales pitch, nobody gets stuck with melting candy bars or rancid cookie dough, and nobody has to stand in the sun all day watching kids wash cars! We made more money in two weeks with this one easy fundraiser than we did knocking ourselves out for the whole year doing five or six other things. And once the pictures came back, everybody was happy with them and wanted to do it again next year. I wish we'd tried this sooner."

"Our DECA chapter does several fund raisers every year and we’re choosy about which ones we’ll take on. We’ve done the portrait fund raiser for nine years in a row now because it’s fun and Vision Events Photography is reliable. After our second year, Culinary Arts asked to do it, too. Organizing the annual event is good experience for my students because it’s straightforward and easy to manage; the studio provides everything we need to be successful."
