They put on an extra show and give you the tickets at a reduced price and you sell at the retail rate or even below retail. Your job is to invite your entire network to fill the venue. You can do this more than once.

They are also disciplined, structured and well organized and often get behind or plan charitable fund raisers. Appeal to them to do an annual fund raiser for the Pro Patria Museum.

Schools & Alumni (Old Boys Clubs)

Honouring those that came before them, by helping fund a museum dedicated to them is a great way for schools to contribute to preserving their history.
