Join our online discussion next week about how nonprofit groups can make the most of special events as fund-raising tools.

Taking your questions will be two fund-raising experts: Liz Klug, director of special events at the Y-Me National Breast Cancer Organization, in Chicago; and Harry A. Freedman, a consultant at Strategic Fundraising Initiatives, in Broomall, Pa., and the author of Black Tie Optional: A Complete Special Events Resource for Nonprofit Organizations.

The discussion will be held Tuesday, March 18, at noon Eastern time and is open to everyone, not just Chronicle subscribers.

People who ask questions in advance have a better chance of receiving answers during the online discussion.
