Laura Baltz, VP of Fund Development at Girl Scouts of Central Indiana, will present - "Put the Special in Special Event Fundraisers."

Special events are a tough game when it comes to fundraising. We always hear about events that raise millions of dollars, but the reality is—most don’t. It’s important to consider the return on investment and what you can really gain when it comes to that golf outing or chicken dinner gala. Let’s talk honestly about what it takes to pull off a successful special event fundraiser—and what that event means.
