Name: Planning meeting for MDA Event
Start: 2025-11-19T18:30:00-07:00
End: 2025-11-19T19:30:00-07:00

**Key points for the fundraiser event!**

* **The Big Goal: We're aiming to raise a huge $100,000 for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) AND get Ryan's book/audiobook launched.**
* **When & Where: It's happening on January 24th, 2026, at Copper Nickel.**
* **What It Is: A telethon-style fundraiser—think classic Jerry Lewis! We're planning to fill the whole evening and can even start earlier if we get enough cool stuff lined up!**
* **Jerry's Telethon Secrets (Ideas to Steal):**
* **Get some big-name stars (singers, actors, athletes) to show up, perform, and ask for donations.**
* **Rope in local stations for community stories, donation updates, and featuring "MDA families."**
* **Need a dramatic "Love Network" board to track the donations and build suspense!**
* **Interview "Jerry's Kids"—the children and families the MDA helps.**
* **What We're Actually Doing:**
* **A Talent Show (but people must audition first!).**
* **Hosting a Raffle and a Live Auction (we seriously need some killer items for these!).**
* **Selling In-Person and Virtual tickets (a media company is going to help us broadcast this thing!).**
* **Finding Sponsors.**
* **Asking for all kinds of Donations: volunteers, cash, or stuff for the auction/raffle.**
