Pay-to-Play Events put the FUN in FUNdraising!
Pay-to-play, sometimes pay-for-play or P2P, is a phrase used for a variety of situations in which money is exchanged for services or the privilege to engage in certain activities. The common denominator of all forms of pay-to-play is that one must pay to participate.
We are seeking hosts for Pay-to-Play parties to benefit MEF. Parent-hosted parties may include food, drink and music/entertainment. Tickets to attend these events are sold at the MEF Auction Gala. The number of tickets sold to a Pay-to-Play party is at the discretion of the host. Parties can be hosted indoors or outdoors, at a home, restaurant, or any venue of your choosing.
Pay-to-Play parties not only raise a significant amount of money for the Moraga Education Foundation, but they also bring our community together for a common cause.
Previous pay-to-play parties have included an “Amazing Race” themed game, private yoga class, personal chef experience, wine tasting, themed dinner party, and game night. If you are considering hosting a Pay-to-Play party but need help coming up with an idea, a venue or someone to co-host, contact us and we can help.
