I am not one to step away from a challenge, so when a good friend of mine challenged me to put on a charity function, I couldn’t say no.  But the truth of the matter is that I had no idea where to start or how to run one, but it couldn’t be that hard, right?

Alright, so a couple of weeks into planning, I realized one thing: it wasn’t necessarily going to be hard, but instead it was going to be a lot of work.  Not only did I have to book the venue (which has thankfully been done), but I had to come up with a theme, some charities that we are going to support and send out invites to as many people as possible.

Speaking of invites, that has been a chore in itself.  Since we didn’t have a list to go from, we have been basically sending out the invites to “cold” prospects, but we are almost done.  We just sent some invites out to Tampa criminal lawyers, doctors and optometrists.  That leaves us with less than a quarter of the phonebook left to go.

With the event in just a few weeks, I hope that we are able to raise a lot of money for charity and have a good time doing it.
