What Is a Night at the Races Fundraiser?
A night at the races fundraiser is an exciting entertainment event where guests watch professional horse racing videos and place small friendly wagers on their favorite horses. Organizations keep all proceeds from the tote pool, sponsorships, and concessions. At Race-Night.com, everything runs from a laptop or PC — instant downloadable races, complete tote system, and printable materials. No DVDs, no shipping, no waiting.
Why Smart Organizations Choose Night at the Races Fundraiser Kits
Unlike rental services that charge $350–$500 every time you host an event, our kits give you permanent ownership with unlimited reuse rights
Buy Once, Use Forever
Other companies rent race night DVDs for $350–$500 per event with strict return deadlines and late fees. Our digital packages are yours permanently. Host annual events, quarterly fundraisers, or multiple events per year without paying again. Your cost per event drops to nearly zero over time.
Instant Digital Download
Receive complete files moments after payment clears. Start planning your fundraiser immediately rather than waiting days for physical DVDs to arrive in the mail. No shipping costs, no return shipping, no risk of damaged discs. Download to your laptop, copy to USB, and you’re ready to go.
Professional Virtual Host Included
Our Premier Package includes a professional video host who guides your entire event on-screen. No hosting experience needed — no volunteer has to stand up and speak. Just play the video and our host handles announcements, builds excitement, and keeps perfect timing throughout all races.
Complete Tote System
Pre-formatted betting tickets, outcome tracking documents, and prize calculation guides simplify wager administration regardless of event size. Everything prints from your computer — no expensive custom tickets to order. Our easy tote calculator makes managing bets straightforward for first-time organizers.

You receive professional horse racing videos, printable tote tickets, tracking sheets, payout calculations, race cards, promotional templates, planning timeline, revenue maximization guide, and email support. Premier package includes full virtual host videos. Everything downloads instantly to your computer — no physical DVDs, no shipping delays.
How much money can we realistically raise with a night at the races fundraiser?
Organizations typically raise $2,000–$8,000 per event through tote pool proceeds, race sponsorships, horse naming rights, concessions, and silent auctions. Results depend on attendance (50–200 guests is typical), ticket pricing, and how many revenue streams you activate.
What makes the virtual host worth the extra cost?
The Premier Package virtual host appears on-screen and professionally guides your entire event — making announcements, building excitement, explaining the tote pool, introducing races, and maintaining perfect timing. No volunteer has to stand up and speak.
What’s the difference between the three night at the races packages?
Starter ($79) includes 6 races for smaller events. Complete ($149) includes 9 races and you provide your own host. Premier ($199) includes 9 races PLUS the professional virtual host — our most popular choice. All packages include complete tote system, planning materials, and unlimited reuse rights with instant download delivery.
Do we need any special permits or licenses for a night at the races?
For private fundraising events where attendees make small social wagers on pre-recorded races, no gambling license is required in most US states. This is considered social entertainment similar to office pools or friendly game nights. Always verify with your venue about any facility-specific requirements.
What equipment do we need for a night at the races fundraiser?
You need a laptop or computer to play race videos, a projector or large TV to display races (60″ minimum recommended), a sound system that reaches your entire room, and basic event supplies like tables and chairs. Most venues already own this equipment.
How many volunteers do we need to run a night at the races?
Most successful events run with 6–10 volunteers handling tote stations, concessions, setup/cleanup, and coordination. The Premier Package virtual host means even fewer volunteers since the host professionally guides the entire evening.
Can we use the package multiple times?
Yes! All packages include unlimited reuse rights forever. Purchase once and host as many events as you want. Many organizations establish their night at the races as a signature annual fundraising tradition.
How quickly can we access everything after purchase?
Instant download! Immediately after purchase, you’ll receive all files via email. No shipping, no delays. Most organizations can be ready to host their event within 2–3 weeks of purchase.
What if it doesn’t work for our organization?
We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you’re not satisfied for any reason, contact us for a full refund. No questions asked. We stand behind our product 100%.
