Fundraisers+and+Spending


 * __Lady Gaga Tour __**

The idea of this fund raising event is that each ticket will have Ben’s Motto on the bottom of each ticket sold. She will donate 75% of all ticket sales to Ben’s presidential campaign from the beginning to the end of her sixth month tour (about ten concerts). Since she is a very big fan and supporter of Ben and she believes that what he wants to do when he is president is right, she is willing to do this. We hope to raise millions of dollars to help Ben successfully become president. We know this will be a very successful fundraiser because Lady Gaga has many supporters who also support Presidential candidate Benjamin Settimio, which means these supporters will buy concert tickets to help support him in his race for the presidency.

The idea of this fund raising event is that we will hold a Mountain Bike Tournament on a national level. This event will be held over a period of one week, and will have the top racers of the country partaking in it. Each ticket will sell for twenty dollars.

Each ticket will contribute to Ben’s campaign. We chose this fundraiser because Presidential Candidate Ben Settimio enjoys and participates in Mountain Bike Races. We are gearing this Fundraiser toward the younger and middle class voters.

Our idea is to hold Bingo nights in many cities populated by the elderly Americans. Every Senior citizen gets in free and anyone under 60 years of age has to pay an entrance fee of five dollars. Each bingo ticket will cost another five dollars. All Funds from the Bingo tickets will go toward Ben Settimio’s presidential campaign. We will also be giving out Ben for ’10 merchandise to let people show their support. We hope to make a large amount of money from our multiple bingo nights across America. We also hope to get Ben’s name out to the senior American voters. We chose this fund raising idea because we know it is a great way to get Ben’s name known amongst the elderly Americans. We think it will work because senior citizens enjoy playing bingo and winning prizes.

We will have 20 celebrities, ranging from Tony Hawk to Bob Barker, participating in a golf outing with 20 lucky winners. We will be selling raffle tickets to people around the country for ten dollars per ticket. We will be selling raffle tickets for certain age groups, 13-25, 26-40, 41-59, and 60 and up. Senior tickets, 60 and up, will have a two dollar discount to eight dollars per ticket. One month before the outing, we will draw out four raffle tickets from each age group. We will also announce the total amount of money made from this event. We will have a 10 second commercial showing the winning raffle ticket number, which will be televised on all NBC news stations across the U.S. We hope to reach out to all the age groups throughout his fundraiser and make a large amount of money to support Ben Settimio’s race for the White House. We think this will work because there are many Americans who like to golf and there will be a lot of raffle tickets sold.
