How Go-Karting Fundraisers Work
Figuring out how to plan a fundraiser might sound overwhelming, but there’s a tried and true process here at Tampa Bay Grand Prix. Follow the steps below to kickstart your event, and of course, let us know if you have any questions along the way. We’re just a phone call away!
Submit Your Information
You’ll start off by submitting a form, giving us the details of the when, where and what of your charity event. This application form can be filled out online, making the process even easier.
Along with this form, if you represent a charity, you’ll need to submit your 501(c)3 taxpayer ID at least 10 days in advance of your event.
If you’re not a registered 501(c)3, we’ll need your organization’s tax ID number at least 21 days before the fundraiser. We’ll also require your W9 information.
Receive a Flyer for Your Fundraiser
Once we’ve verified the information above and approved your fundraising event, we’ll send you the tools you need to get started! Depending on the fundraiser you’ve organized, this package may include a flyer advertising your profitable fundraiser. Or, it may include a coupon offering the customer a free membership, provided they come to our facility to race on a certain day and present their flyer.
An established percentage of revenue earned from the event will be given back to your charity.
Spread the News!
After you’ve received your flyers or coupons, the success of your fundraiser will be up to you. Pass out the information to your friends, family members, coworkers or even strangers. Make sure to give them all the necessary information, including when the event is or on what dates their coupon is valid. Remind them to present their flyers, whether physical or digital, when they come to our facility, as their doing so will allow us to track your proceeds accordingly. We’ll issue a fundraiser check shortly after the event.
After you’ve done the legwork of organizing your fundraiser and spreading the news, there’s nothing left to do but race and enjoy!
