6 Mother’s Day Event Ideas + Optional Fundraising Elements
Hiking Adventure.
Choose a scenic trail in a nearby park or nature reserve and plan a hike! All Trails is a great resource—you can search by location and hike difficulty. Once you’ve got the route planned, create an event page and invite those on your email list and in your social media networks. Set up a crowdfunding page benefitting a cause related to the outdoors, such as your local Boys & Girls Club Camp!
Yoga Session
Moms deserve some meditative relaxation and stretching!
Consider organizing an outdoor yoga session or partnering with a local yoga studio to host a yoga class. You can use a fundraising platform to create a donation page. Ask the participants to donate to the cause and pay for the instructor.
Increase the visibility of your event by sharing it on social media and print posters with QR codes. These codes will direct people to your event page, where they can easily donate or register.
Flower-Arranging Workshop.
TikTock Dance Class.
Set up a fun dance class for moms and their friends to learn all the TikTok dances! Find an experienced and enthusiastic dance instructor to host the class, and even create a video to share on TikTok. Make it easy for attendees to register by setting up an event page using an events platform. Turn the event into one that also benefits your chosen cause by creating a custom donation page.
Pottery Workshop.
Stroll, Sip, and Shop!
Browsing boutiques is always a good idea.
Partner with other local businesses to create a Mother’s Day shopping experience. Create special printed coupons for moms attending so they can access great deals. Team up with a cafe to offer an irresistible prix fixe brunch, lunch, or high tea.
A part of the proceeds from tickets purchased for the meal and merchandise sales can go toward your cause. Alternatively, consider running an online raffle with the proceeds going back to a charity meaningful to moms.
Mother’s Day Event Marketing Tips
- Send out invitations. Printed invitations have a way of making things feel a bit more special.
- Promote on social media. Make sure to include a hashtag that people can use when posting about the event.
- Create an event website. It will give people an easy way to find out more information, register (if it’s free), and purchase tickets (if necessary).
- Send out press releases. Doing so will get the word out to local media. Make sure to include a call to action in your press release. Let people know what you’d like them to do, such as purchase tickets or donate money to the charity.
- Include the event on your website and in your email signature. This may help you capture last-minute attendees.
- Utilize printed posters. Printed flyers are a great way to reach more people in your community. Remember to include a QR code directing visitors to your event site where they can get more details, register if it’s a free event, or buy tickets!
As you gear up to celebrate this Mother’s Day, remember that every event you organize or participate in presents an opportunity to show the remarkable women in our lives how much we appreciate them. Whether it’s a peaceful yoga session, a creative pottery workshop, or a lively TikTok dance class, these experiences celebrate our mothers and give back to the community, creating a legacy of care and support. Happy planning and cheers to a Mother’s Day filled with joy, connection, and meaningful contributions.
