Fundraisers at Checkerspot
Up to 500 inside · 750–1,000 with the outdoor space
Book your eventA good benefit night does two jobs at once. It has to be a night people want to come to, and it has to raise the money. The first one makes the second one easier.
We have hosted plenty of them, for causes across Baltimore, and the room is already set up for both jobs.
Room for the ask
A real stage and sound for the speeches and the paddle raise, and two projectors for the mission video. The room carries five hundred inside, and seven hundred and fifty to a thousand with the outdoor space.
Room for the auction
Silent auction tables, sponsor banners, a photo wall, a vendor row: there is floor space to lay it all out, and for guests to linger long enough to bid.
A beer for the cause
We have brewed beers with nonprofit partners before, with the can and the tap handle telling the story. If that would help your campaign, ask us about it.
Food and drinks
Our kitchen sends food out to the room, or bring your own caterer. Wine, seltzer, soda, root beer and non-alcoholic beer sit beside our own beer, so every supporter has something to raise.
Book ahead for gala season
Spring and fall fill first. If your date is tied to a campaign or an awareness month, tell us early.
