The best way I've found is to have a series of heats before a final at the end of the night that everyone can get involved in.
People attending buy and name their own horse that participates in a heat. You can have 8-10 horses in each heat. The first two go through to the final. Run 4 or 5 heats and then everyone can watch the final to see who has the fastest horse and win a major prize!
Generally, you would sell entry tickets to the night beforehand with all those attending receiving some fake cash to bet on the races. Those with money at the end of the night could win prizes from donors and sponsors. If someone runs out of fake cash, they could buy some more, raising more money!
Add in fashions on the field, raffles, silent auctions etc and you've got a great night with heaps of fundraising potential!
Absolutely! This is the great thing about my races...they can be totally customised! You can choose your own:
Just send me the info, I'll write the race and add your information so it sounds seamless, hilarious and makes it sound like I know all the inside gags too!
As well as the races, you could hold a 'fashions on the field', a silent auction, raffles, door prizes..the list of opportunites is endless!
Your races are supplied as high-quality MP4 video files that can be played on almost any laptop, TV or projector. Simply press play on the night and enjoy!
Every event is different, but many clubs raise anywhere from a few thousand dollars to well over $10,000 by combining the races with raffles, auctions and sponsorship.
Phantom Horse Races work just as well for 30 guests as they do for crowds of several hundred.
Most events run for around 2–3 hours depending on the number of races and other fundraising activities.
All you need is a TV or projector and something that can play an MP4 video.

A silent auction is one of the easiest ways to enhance exciting fundraising events without interrupting the flow of the evening. Reach out to local businesses, sponsors, and club supporters for donations of products, vouchers, or services that guests can bid on throughout the night. Popular auction items include sporting memorabilia, restaurant vouchers, accommodation packages, golf rounds, hampers, and signed merchandise. As guests move between races during a Phantom Horse Race fundraiser, they’ll naturally browse the auction tables and continue bidding. By combining a silent auction with this fundraising function package, you create multiple opportunities for guests to support your club while enjoying a fun and entertaining night.
Heads & Tails is an exciting fundraising event that works brilliantly during a Phantom Horse Race fundraiser. Guests pay a small entry fee before choosing either heads or tails by placing their hands on their head or their hips. A coin is tossed, and anyone who guesses incorrectly is eliminated until one winner remains. It’s simple to run, creates plenty of laughs, and builds excitement between races. Many football clubs and sporting organizations include Heads & Tails in their fundraising function packages as a quick way to raise additional funds while keeping the atmosphere lively. It only takes a few minutes but often becomes one of the most memorable moments of the evening.
An exciting fundraising event like a major raffle is one of the most reliable fundraising ideas for sporting clubs, schools, and charities. Selling raffle tickets in the weeks leading up to your event can generate significant income before the doors even open. Draw the raffle during your Phantom Horse Race fundraiser night to keep guests engaged and encourage everyone to stay until the end of the evening. Prizes donated by local businesses, sponsors, and club members not only reduce costs but also strengthen community support. Additionally, a well-promoted fundraising function package with a raffle is an easy way to boost the total amount raised on the night.
A short trivia round is another exciting way to keep guests entertained between races at your fundraising function package. Whether you include football questions, general knowledge, music, or local club history, this trivia activity encourages friendly competition and gets everyone involved. You don’t need to run a full trivia night—just a few rounds between races can add variety to your event while creating another opportunity to sell answer sheets or award sponsored prizes. Combining trivia with a Phantom Horse Race fundraiser keeps the energy high and gives guests even more reasons to return next year.
Lucky Envelopes are one of the simplest and most profitable fundraising activities you can run, making them perfect for exciting fundraising events. Guests purchase a sealed envelope for a fixed price, with each envelope containing a prize, voucher, or ticket into a major prize draw. The thrill comes from the surprise of not knowing what's inside until it's opened. Lucky Envelopes require minimal setup, can be sold throughout the evening, and are ideal for football clubs, cricket clubs, schools, and community groups. Incorporating Lucky Envelopes into your fundraising function package alongside your Phantom Horse Race fundraiser gives guests another enjoyable way to support your cause while enhancing the excitement of the night.
One of the easiest ways to boost the funds raised from your exciting fundraising events, such as a Phantom Horse Race fundraiser, is by selling sponsorships for each race. Local businesses can sponsor individual races, have their business name featured in the race title, be acknowledged during the race call, and even donate prizes for the winning punters. This approach not only creates extra exposure for your sponsors but also helps to offset the costs associated with the fundraising function package and increases your overall fundraising profit. Many clubs invite sponsors to present prizes, giving them valuable recognition in front of the crowd and strengthening long-term community partnerships.
