All Souls Procession using new form of fundraising

TUCSON, AZ (Tucson News Now)- Happening tonight all
around town is a new kind of fundraiser for one non-profit.

‘The Night of a Thousand
Parties' will help pay for an annual Tucson tradition, the All Souls
Procession.

Organizers say every year
it grows and costs more to put on the event, but they do not always get new
donors. 

They are now working on
organizing individual parties, for fundraising to happen.

The total bill for the
2012 All Souls Procession was $74,000, right now the organizers still have
$12,000 to pay off.  Most of this is done
with donations that have come in from small businesses and individuals and
grassroots fundraising.

Other non-profits have
done similar party programs, here is how it works. 

People sign up to host a
private party, they pick up a DVD to show, then there are handouts that break
down how money is raised and how it is spent.
