It is simply important that you have a goal and are actively working to achieve it. Make it a game. Get everyone out of their daily routine by making it fun. This one might sound obvious, but too often people think being creative means doing things you’ve never done before. Do not worry about the “who, why, or what.”

You might think of a gala-style event with speeches, a few fundraising activities (for example, an auction), and a shared meal. Instead of having your attendees sit through a series of presentations and speeches, why not play an interactive game or have a side-splitting comedy performance? Craft a genuinely memorable experience.
