Fundraisers

Of all the local restaurants that do fundraisers, the Scarlet Room stands alone when you consider affordability, its full range of event capabilities, customization options, and location. Luckily for our community, there are always ample fundraising opportunities in Kansas City. 

But, as you begin planning your upcoming event, you might not be sure how to find restaurants that will help fundraise, or how to do a fundraiser at a restaurant. Below, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about restaurant fundraisers and how the Scarlet Room can help you host unforgettable charity events in Kansas City. 

Here’s how to host a fundraiser at a restaurant like Society’s Scarlet Room, and why we’re one of Kansas City’s top places to host fundraisers: 

Why the Scarlet Room is one of the Best Places to Fundraise in Kansas City 

There are plenty of venues for charity events, but there are far fewer restaurants that participate in fundraising alongside you. Society and the Scarlet Room are unique in their commitment to giving back to the community.  

We play host to all types of private events, but in particular, we’re eager to host fundraisers in Kansas City. Why? 

As a social hub in the heart of the historic Kansas City Crossroads Art District, Society and the Scarlet Room feel a strong connection to our community and neighbors. We want to find ways to give back, in any way we can. So, in our capacity as one of the best places to host a fundraiser in the downtown Kansas City area, we see an opportunity to help local causes by: 

  • Working with them to coordinate and plan the event  
  • Handling everything from setup and decorating to serving and clean up 
  • Ensuring that every detail of the event is perfect, and that guests are prioritized 
  • And more 

No other charity ball venues in Kansas City can provide quite the same: 

  • Darkly mysterious ambiance 
  • Media and tech capabilities 
  • Customizable in-house catering and beverage packages to suit any size event 
  • Hosting and coordinating services 
  • Convenient and centralized location in the heart of the Kansas City Crossroads Art District 

With an 80-person seated capacity and a 150-person standing capacity in respect to happy hour or cocktailing events, the Scarlet Room is perfectly sized for small fundraising and charity events.
