Join us on Tuesday, February 3, at noon Eastern time for a live online discussion about the best ways to make walkathons, silent auctions, and other special events more lucrative.

This discussion comes as many people in the nonprofit world fear that the recession will make it more difficult for organizations to attract participants and sponsors and to generate donations.

How can you make your event seem worthwhile in the current economy? What steps can you take to promote your event? What can you do during and after the event to convert some of your participants into active donors and volunteers?

The Chronicle’s online discussions are free and open to everyone. People who ask questions in advance have a better chance of getting answers.
