Service Club Beverage Sales Program

The Norfolk Festevents Service Club Beverage Sales Program is an opportunity for service organizations and charities to raise funds through the sale of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages at our events.

Our current policy is to donate 20% of the net proceeds from beverage sales to the organizations that participate. Each organization participates in several events throughout the season. Over $3,000,000 has been donated directly to local charities as a result of our programs and, depending on the weather, it grows by about $50,000 each year. Local organizations like Down Syndrome Association of Hampton Roads, Kiwanis Club of Norfolk, Little Creek Lion's Club, REACH, Inc. and The Up Center all benefit greatly from the fundraising opportunities and the social experience their members receive. This program is a model for other event production organizations across the country.

Organizations must have at least 40 members, must be a non-profit organization registered with the IRS or donate their funds to a non-profit organization.

If your organization is interested in participating, you must submit a letter of intent by Jan. 9, 2013 to:

Domenick A. Fini
Vice President, Sales and Marketing
Norfolk Festevents, Ltd.
120 West Main Street
Norfolk, VA 23510

The letter of intent should include a brief bio of your organization, a contact name, mailing address, e-mail address and phone number. The contact person will be invited to our Service Club Informational meeting being held at 6:15 pm on Wednesday January 9, 2013 at the Norfolk Waterside Marriott. The complete application requirements will be distributed at that time. Our Board of Directors selects approximately 20 Clubs from the applicants and the Clubs are notified of their acceptance or denial in early February. Event dates are randomly selected for the Clubs in late February. The main portion of our event season runs from May thru October. Checks are distributed at the end of the season, typically in late November.

Please contact Domenick A. Fini by e-mail at finid@festevents.org or by phone at 757-441-2345 for more information.
