Fund Raising Pack
Half the problem with fund raising is coming up with something to do,
this section of the web site hopes to help with ideas and inspiration.
If you have any extra ideas, please mail them to us and they will be
added to this section.
To start with, here are a few of the standard ideas:
- Sponsored run / bike ride / swim - Would you like to carry out a
sponsored sporting event? It lets people show how fit they are, or gives
people extra motivation for becoming fit. Perhaps you've always wanted
to run a marathon, but have never felt you've had a good enough reason
to try. If you were raising money for a charity, wouldn't that be a good
enough reason?
- Extreme events - Have you ever felt like doing something very
stupid? How about bungee jumping? Or parachuting? Abseiling? Being sponsored gives
you the perfect excuse to do things that would normally get you branded
a nutter. And if you inform the organisers of your sponsorship, you could get
a discount on your jump/event.
For official sponsor forms for any of these events, please contact us either
by e-mail or through the
address / phone number below. Master forms can either be posted to you,
or e-mailed in a variety of formats.
- Standard events - You don't have to go mad to raise funds,
things like coffee mornings and raffles are excellent ways to raise
money. Raffle prizes will often be donated by local companies when it
is for a good cause.
- Casual dress day - If your company charges for the occasional
casual dress day, will you please consider us for some of the money. If
you have never heard of this system, some companies allow staff to come
in on the last Friday of the month in casual clothes if they pay a set
sum to charity, e.g. a pound, (if you turn up in smart clothes you get
charged more!) If you are an organiser for this in your company, or
would like to be, we would like to hear from you.
Please contact us before any events so we can organise some publicity
and photographs, and so we can thank you properly. If you have a
specific event in mind we can create sponsor forms for you and help with
gaining sponsorship.
If you have any ideas for sponsored events, even if you do not wish to
do them yourself, please mail them to us:
bsblind@mistral.co.uk.
