Making it successful
The key to organising your own event is to make it as much fun for everyone as possible and to enjoy yourself. You can be as creative as you like, but remember to plan well in advance in order that the event will reward your enthusiasm with Success.
We really appreciate it
Raising funds is no doddle and we do appreciate all of the time and effort that you dedicate to raising money for Prostate Cancer Research Foundation. If you decide to organise your own event, we're here at all times to offer help, support and encouragement.
- Some hints to get you started
Write to absolutely everyone you know, ask friends, family, colleagues, and neighbours to support and sponsor you. If they give the money up front, it saves you a lot of work later.
Ask the powers-that-be at work to match what you raise.
If you are a member of any clubs or associations, ask them to donate, participate or help with a venue.
Ask your local gym/ sports club to support you, and you could even ask your local pub.
Write to your local press. Something quirky to catch the attention and interest of the general public may be the most effective way of encouraging people to sponsor you and to get coverage of the event.
Never forget the Gift Aid advantage. 25p can be added to every £1 you raise in sponsorship through the Gift Aid scheme, at no extra cost to you.
All you have to do is ensure that your sponsors tick the Gift Aid consent box on your form, giving full names, home addresses and postcodes so that we can confirm the Gift Aid claim.
And don't forget, send us a photo please!
