Campfire fundraising initiative
At Campfire Lakewood, we consider ourselves an essential part of the communities, serving as social hubs where people gather to enjoy a delicious meal and catch up with friends and family. For this reason, we are a natural fit for community organizations seeking to raise funds for their causes. With our family-friendly atmospheres and mouth watering dishes, we have become a go-to choice for hosting fundraising events that bring people together while supporting important initiatives.
Why we partner with local non-profit organizations:
It’s On Our Hearts: We are passionate about initiatives that support family and the gathering of family to become the pillars of healthy communities. To that end, we seek to partner with organizations that build on the family connection, support young people in their dreams and bring communities together for fun.
Here are typical organizations we support:
- Schools PTAs, Booster Clubs, School clubs
- Local Community Runs & Fitness that Encourage Family Participation
- Church Fundraising
- Local Sports Teams
Easy To Execute: We have an established process for hosting fundraising events, which makes planning and executing the event much easier for community organizations. For example, you begin your planning by connecting directly with us through our online fundraising system.
Win-Win: Fundraising events held at any of our Campfire Concepts stores benefit both the restaurant and the community organization, with the restaurant gaining increased traffic and sales and the organization receiving a percentage of the sales made by its members as a donation.

How To Estimate Your Return
The best way to estimate how much money you can raise is to multiply your expected attendance by the average check of a restaurant and the donation %. Below is an example for illustrative purposes.
40 people (multiplied by) $55 (multiplied by) 15% = $330
While $330 might not seem like a lot, it really should be looked at relative to effort which should not have been high. Also, when considered in the context of an annual program, money raised from restaurant fundraisers could be quite significant and a great complement to your overall fundraising strategy.
