How do I organize a Denny’s fundraising event?

Here’s the scoop on how Denny’s fundraising works. It only takes 1 minute to set up your fundraiser!

  1. Choose a participating Denny’s location
  2. Select a date and time that’s convenient for your group
  3. Tell us about your group and how many people will attend
  4. Click Submit. Simple, right?

Keep in mind, you will need to request your fundraiser at least 2 weeks in advance because the restaurant will have 1 week to respond to your request. The sooner you book, the sooner it gets approved, and the sooner you can start promoting your fundraiser. Any group can fundraise: college clubs, churches, school PTAs, you name it!

 

Next, spread the word about your event to your group’s supporters, rallying RSVPs. GroupRaise’s Meal Page – a unique web page for your group’s event – makes things even easier by tallying RSVPs for you and even reminding your supporters to stop by on the day of the event. Use flyers, social media, and word of mouth to promote your event and the Meal Page – then simply work up your appetite!

During your event, it’s all smooth sailing. No need to rally volunteers for a hard day’s work washing cars or baking – all they need to do is enjoy some tasty American food! They don’t even have to eat their meal in the restaurant – takeout orders count too when placed in the restaurant or called in.

 

Finally, 4-6 weeks after the event, Denny’s will send a check to your group containing a whopping 15-20% of your event’s total sales (donation percentage depends on the location). Once you’ve seen for yourself how easy and fun Denny’s fundraising is, you’ll be itching to host another event. Good news: you can hold as many as you want!
