Put the “Fun” Back in Your Fundraising Event
If you’re planning an event or fundraising for your non-profit, KBC Houston could be the perfect location. Our event space can accommodate your event, small or large. We have smaller gathering areas and large-scale event spaces to host you and your guests. KBC Houston has a family-friendly, alcohol-free environment that’s perfect for your next event.
Build Meaningful Connections in an Inclusive Environment
Beyond creating a fun event, the essential function of a non-profit is to create a sense of community. Your event floor plan should facilitate discussion through designated spaces for networking and learning. From engaging speakers to storytelling sessions, bring your nonprofit mission to life with emotional connections. Remember to ensure your event is ADA accessible and consider sensory rooms for guests with autism.
Create Interactive Activity Stations That Flow Together and Reflect Your Theme
After greeting people with refreshments, engage them with a mix of activities that pull them into your event space and connect them with your nonprofit goals. Games, crafts, and live performances can encourage social interaction and create a lively atmosphere without the need for alcohol. Don’t forget to create a memorable closing! A star speaker or exciting announcement can be the highlight of the night.
Serve Non-Alcoholic Signature Drinks and Culinary Delights
Inform guests before the event that there will not be alcohol on the premises so everyone can feel safe and included. Even alcohol-free events can express your brand's personality and reflect your theme through drinks and food. From signature mocktails made with sparking water to healthy smoothies, guests can stay hydrated and enjoy something unique. Pair your refreshments with finger foods and snacks and keep everything well stocked to keep guests happy.
Why Alcohol Free?
Opening a bar to your guests can sometimes create an unsafe environment, liability risks, and logistic issues. At KBC Houston, we believe in aligning our event space with the goals of our fellow nonprofits. We’ve seen first-hand how alcohol-free fundraisers can increase attendance, create a family-friendly atmosphere, and enhance donor engagement.
Keep the Conversation Going
Make it easy for event attendees to connect with you beyond your event. Create signage that promotes your nonprofit’s social media channels and encourages them to share event photos with their network. Collect emails and addresses so that you can share thank-you notes, volunteer opportunities, and behind-the-scenes footage after the event.
Get Started with a Community and Event Center That Understands Nonprofits
Whether you’re promoting healthier lifestyles or looking to attract a wider audience, creating a charity event is an excellent way to create connections with donors.
The KBC Houston is committed to the community and dedicated to helping other nonprofit organizations succeed. We offer an alcohol-free venue to create community connections and serve as an alternative to other event spaces. As a nonprofit community and event center, our mission supports your mission.
