Planning and hosting a fundraising event can be very rewarding, but it is also a whole lot of work. Not only do you have to worry about finding a place to hold the event and come up with creative ideas to generate the funds for the organization or cause, but you have to worry about the safety of the guests who attend. Here, you'll find a few tips to help keep your guests safe during the event so that it can be nothing but a positive experience for everyone.

Hire Event Control Safety Professionals

There are companies out there that offer safety control for events. The service will provide you with uniformed or street-clothed safety specialists that will monitor the activity at the event. Having professionals on-hand will help decrease the chances of something bad happening. This is an essential element of event planning, especially if you plan on serving alcohol or auctioning off valuable items. Having someone there to break up any fights and prevent theft will take a load of burdens off of your shoulders.

Light the Way                                                                           

If the event will continue on through the day into the night, make sure that you're providing the guests a lighted walk-way to make it safely from their vehicles to the building. You can do this cheaply using nothing more than empty clear milk and water jugs. Just cut a hole in the side of the top of the jug—large enough to fit your hand in. Pour some gravel or sand into the jug and add a candle or battery-operated tea-light candle. This will not only illuminate the pathway, but it will draw attention to the event and make it look very pretty at night.

Salt Icey Walkways

Renting an establishment for the event should eliminate the need for you to purchase the salt needed to salt the walkways, but you may need to be the person to spread it. If there is snow or low temperatures predicted for the day of the event, contact the establishment and inquire about the availability of salt to spread—ask if it will be done for you or if you'll have to take the time to do it yourself. This will prevent you from running short on time and not having the salt that you need to make sure that everyone makes it to and from the building safely.

All of the work that you're doing right now will be worth it when you raise the funds for the cause or organization that you hope to help.
