Movies on the Lawn

Movies on the Lawn are a fun summer time fundraiser! Have everyone bring a blanket and you can accommodate a lot of people. For a fun twist, organize in a field or park, a drive-in. You can charge admission or just ask for donations. Host a concession stand for added donations. Can also host games for the kids to help pass the time until dark.

Things to Consider

  • How will you show the movie? Projector, screen, sound.
  • Need to have proper licensing for a larger crowd.
  • Consider having a rain date in case of inclement weather.
