At the event, four organizations will be selected at random and a representative from the nonprofit will have three to five minutes to pitch their cause and how the funds will be used. Everyone at the event will vote for the best pitch and the winning nonprofit will receive the donations raised, a release said.
"When you donate $100 to a charity, often you wonder if you are making a difference," explained the release. "But when 100 people donate $100 at the same time, they raise $10,000 to a worthy cause."
Attendees will also get a chance to network while enjoying appetizers and a cash bar.
"It takes only an hour," said the release. "No additional fundraising, no silent auction donations to solicit, no volunteering. Simply a great way to give back right in our own community."
Doors open at 5 p.m. Donations can be made in cash or check.
