- Fresno, CA (1888PressRelease) August 19, 2015 - Looking for a delicious way to raise money for your organization? Host your next fundraising event at Ryan's®, HomeTown Buffet or Old Country Buffet®! The family-style buffet restaurants are inviting non-profits and community groups of all sizes to host a tasty fundraising meal at their local restaurant through the Ticket Fundraiser Program.
HomeTown Buffet recently hosted their first partnered ticket fundraiser event with Roosevelt High School, where they raised $1,489 for the school's football team. Over 220 tickets were sold by the football team, who plan to use the allocated funds towards purchasing new uniform equipment. The football players interacted with managers and staff on-site the day of the event, which created a lively environment for dining patrons.
"We're thrilled to hear amount Roosevelt High Schools football team was able to raise at their local HomeTown Buffet," said Mario Lee, Vice President of Operations for Ovation Brands®. "This is a great example of how the local community can come together and raise funds that go towards a great cause with the added benefit of simultaneously enjoying a delicious meal."
Non -profit organizations and schools are both welcomed and encouraged to host their fundraisers at any participating HomeTown Buffet locations. We request a date and time to be selected at least 30 days prior to an event that will take place in one of our restaurants HomeTown Buffet will then create, print and ship the personalized tickets to the partnering organization for them to sell in a timely manner. Scheduling an event at least 30 days prior benefits both parties by allowing the organization time to sell tickets and the restaurant time to properly execute the event.
Several ticket options are available for organizations to choose from such as breakfast, lunch or dinner with each varying in price; Breakfast tickets are $5.50, lunch tickets are $6.50 and dinner tickets are priced at $8.50. The meal tickets are good for one unlimited buffet meal and a choice of beverage during the selected seating. The minimum amount of tickets that need to be sold by the organization in order to qualify to host a fundraiser event is 50 tickets, and orders must be made in increments of 50.
An organization should follow-up with their local HomeTown Buffet two days before their event and must bring the payment for the number of tickets sold along with any unsold tickets to the restaurant hosting the fundraiser. This ensures that the restaurant can have enough made-from-scratch food and helpful staff on hand to make the event a complete success.
