Cutting Him in Half?! Desperate Measures for Staffing Shortages at Nonprofit Fundraisers in the Twin Cities
Is your nonprofit event running short on volunteers, energy, or excitement? Maybe it’s time to bring in the saw.
We’re only half joking.
In today’s fast-paced world, nonprofit organizations across the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul are finding it harder than ever to recruit volunteers, manage fundraising logistics, and keep attendees engaged. The result? Burnout, last-minute cancellations, and fundraising goals that fall frustratingly short.
So… what if we added a little magic to the mix?
🪄 Cutting Him in Half?! The Magic of Entertainment-Based Fundraisers
At a recent community event in Fridley, Minnesota, guests gasped and giggled as local entertainer MagicBrad took the stage and asked for a volunteer—only to announce he was going to cut him in half!
Of course, it was all in good fun (and no humans were harmed), but the metaphor stuck: sometimes, when staffing and energy are stretched thin, a little illusion and laughter can go a long way.
🎟️ Why Nonprofits Should Consider Magic Entertainment for Fundraisers
If you’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in or near Fridley, MN—or anywhere in the Northeast Metro area—here are a few reasons to consider adding a magic show to your next fundraiser:
-
Low Staff Requirements: Professional entertainers like MagicBrad handle setup, performance, and cleanup, so your volunteer crew can take a breather.
-
Boost in Attendance: People love coming to something different. Magic shows are unique, family-friendly, and attract a crowd.
-
Built-In Fundraising Hooks: Ticket sales, raffle intermissions, and corporate sponsorships can all be woven into the performance flow.
-
Local Partnerships: Fridley-based entertainers and suppliers often support events with discounts or promotional support in the community.
🏙️ Fundraising in the Twin Cities Just Got More Fun
Whether you’re planning a church benefit, school PTA event, senior healthcare fundraiser, or community revitalization campaign, adding “Magic and FUN for Everyone” might just be the secret ingredient your event has been missing.
And remember, staffing shortages aren’t always solved by more people—sometimes, it’s about creating more energy and engagement with fewer hands on deck.
