Throw a Sock Hop for Charity If you are looking for a way to raise money for a charity, why not throw a sock hop? A sock hop is lots of fun; turning it into a charity event can make it even better. Requesting a small donation at the door
could bring in enough to make a difference in someone else’s life.

You will need to publicize the event to bring in the most money. Keep in mind the size crowd you want to handle, so you can keep things manageable. You will need to find a place large enough to handle the
number of people you expect come.

Decorations in the 50’s theme can be rather easy to do. Since it is a charity event, you may even be able to find someone who will let you borrow a jukebox instead of renting it out. Stores may be willing to
throw in some of the decorations, paper goods, or food – it never hurts to ask.

Invite others to help you with decorations and food. The more people involved, the more talked about the event will be. Word of mouth will encourage others to come. Encourage everyone to wear 50’s
clothing to add to the 50’s feel.

Depending on who the event will benefit, you could make the recipients guests of honor at the sock hop. This would need to be handled tactfully of course as not to cause embarrassment. At the end of the
evening you will have given people a good time, and a good way to help others.
