Winter 2023
QPlease Fundraiser!
Feb 1 – April 1, 2023
What is this?
A little fundraising event to get some extra funds in for our donations at the end of the year!
What?
Every person on this planet falls into 3 categories, which will be the 3 fundraising teams for this drive.
You are either 1) In the Winter 2023 QP show, 2) an Alumni from ANY QP show (excluding those in Winter 2023), or 3) a FAN of Queen’s Players (never been in a show, maybe never even seen one, but wants to get DONATING!).
These three categories will be competing for: (specifics on prizes coming soon)
1. Highest Donor in your category (1 prize per category)
2. Runner’s up in your category (for 2nd and 3rd place)
3. Top 3 Overall Donors
4. Maybe even more???
5. If you don’t get on the leaderboard, your prize is donating to charity and being a good person
HOW TO RAISE MONEY
If you’re thinking “how tf is my little toy money bank account looking ass going to come up with enough money to win some prizes?”. Donate what you can BUT, it’s time to leech off of any semblance of wealth you may find yourself in the vicinity of:

Template to reach out to people:
Hey! I am taking part in a fundraising drive for Queen’s Players, a sketch comedy music show that is one of Queen’s Universities largest charities! Player’s allocates money to various local charities in Kingston each year, and this year they are looking to fundraise as much money as possible to give back to charities that missed out during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. I would be so appreciative of any monetary donation you would be willing to give, or if you know anyone else who may be able to help me reach my fundraising goal of ___! (Tweak as needed!) If you’d like to donate, go over to https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/fundraising/80a27e57-09c6-4724-a880-d53d2d26f6cd!
