A Family Fun Night works when two things happen at once: families show up, and the school has a way to raise funds without turning the evening into a chore.
The entertainment is the magnet. Parents come because the kids want to come. Once they’re in the gym, ticket sales, concessions, raffles, and a simple sponsorship table do the rest.
A night that stays simple
I bring sound, backdrop, and the 45-minute family magic show
You provide the gym or cafeteria and an outlet
Families sit together. Kids get on stage. Grandparents laugh too
That’s the program. Everything else is optional add-on.
Easy ways schools raise money around the show
Advance tickets through the school or PTO
Door tickets the night of
Concession table (even bottled water and popcorn works)
A 50/50 or small raffle
A local business as “night sponsor”
You don’t need a huge production. You need a reason for families to leave the house.
Why magic works better than a movie night
A movie is quiet. A live show gives the school a shared event—volunteers from the audience, clean comedy, and a room that feels like a school community again. PTOs use that energy to talk about the school’s needs without it feeling like a meeting.
Family Fun Night pricing starts at $595 for one show, with a two-show option for bigger crowds. Dates more than 75 miles outside Tallahassee may include a small travel fee.
If your PTO wants a fall or spring night on the calendar, call 850-445-9659 or use Book Now. I’ll help you pick a date that gives you time to sell tickets.
