By Bette King February 26, 2011 The Desert Sun Shrinking donations come at a time when the generous people of the Coachella Valley find themselves diverting disposable cash to the necessities of their lives, such as filling up the gas tank and buying groceries. We have seen our charities rely on galas, golf tournaments and more creative fundraising events to help fill their coffers. The volunteer board members of the nonprofit organizations are to be congratulated for rolling up their sleeves to help raise money and keep their doors open for the people and pets they help. Recently, we have seen a small group of charities band together to raise funds collectively. Joslyn Senior Center in Palm Desert is searching for a part-time development director to fund its myriad services. “Many nonprofit senior centers are adding someone paid or unpaid in this role,” Executive Director Peter Rittenhouse was recently quoted as saying in The Desert Sun. “Raising funds for seniors doesn't have much sex appeal like some other charities, and in the past we were content to get what we got.” Coachella Valley businesses have traditionally stepped up to help charities, from outright donations to in-kind support for events such as drop-off points for food and clothing and co-sponsoring high-profile events. Understandably, some businesses have reduced commitments because of the faltering economy locally as well as nationally. Despite cutbacks, so many businesses are trying to do their share for the nonprofit organizations in the communities they serve. The challenge is to look at new ways to help as well as traditional ones. Bette King Productions is trying to do our part as good business partners in the community by offering local charities to make money by helping to sell tickets to the upcoming “Live From Las Vegas Jay White As Neil Diamond In Concert” March 26-27 at The Show at the Agua Caliente Casino Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage. For every ticket sold, the charity will receive $10 and the buyer of the ticket also gets $10 in free slot play compliments of the Agua Caliente Casino. If you are interested in participating in this fund raising event for your charity or organization, e-mail Bette King Productions at bettekingproductions43@gmail.com or call (760) 202-4007. This is a fun way for charities and local organizations to raise money, whether it's to help bands get uniforms, feed the poor, help children's programs, buy supplies, provide transportation and many other worthwhile projects.
