So why not get inspired and put on a fundraiser this summer?
July is jam-packed with big and exciting sporting events. From the prestigious Wimbledon tournament to the Cricket World Cup, you can guarantee that there will always be something to get involved with this month. So why not be a good sport, get inspired and put on a fundraiser this summer?
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Organise your own event
Make the most of summer, get some friends together and get into the great outdoors. There are thousands of different sports and activities for you to choose from, and these are just some of our favourites:
- The Premier League is over, so now’s the time to start your own league. Dust off your football boots, rounders bats or tennis rackets and head for a friendly (or competitive) game with friends, colleagues or in your community. Hold a collection at half time and charge entry to the tournament in return for a prize.
- Did someone say fun run? Bring the community together on a summer afternoon for a fun run (or walk) for everyone to attend. Make sure there’s a water stop!
- Pretend you’re back in school and organise a sports day with your family and friends in the garden. People could donate to enter the classic egg and spoon race, tug of war, relay or even a sack race, in return for a fun prize.
Set yourself a challenge
Set yourself a challenge this month! You could walk to work every day, do a sponsored cycle, arrange a swim-a-thon or even organise a dance-a-thon. However big or small your challenge is, collect your sponsorship easily by setting up an online giving page.
Get your walking boots on
Keep it simple and organise a solo walk and get people to sponsor you for every mile you walk. Or maybe you would prefer to turn it into an exciting sponsored trek and try out a route you’ve always wanted to do. Or, you can bring everyone together and organise the walk in your community, with a pink dress code so that you can raise awareness and money while you walk!
