Sponsored Bag-Pack

Contact your local Supermarket and ask if you can have a day/evening to pack bags in aid of Bone Marrow for Leukaemia Trust. Many Supermarkets will give you a specified time to offer this service to their customers, who in turn may be willing to make a small contribution in return for having their groceries packed

Sponsored Dog Walk

A sponsored dog walk is a novel and fun way of raising funds as well as giving your favourite ‘pooch’ some exercise and a day out with his/her canine friends. Approach friends and colleagues to join in with their pets and issue them with sponsorship cards. At the finish have a presentation ceremony. Ask your local kennels for support and ideas on novelty prizes. Get rosette’s and present them to the winners…you decide the categories. End off the day with a party, tea/coffee, and cakes/buns/minerals for the kids. The Dog, they say is mans best friend – so give him/her a day out and raise funds for the walk

Golf Classic

Approach your local Golf Club and ask them for a day or half day to run this event. Advertise in your local paper. Write to business people in the town and ask them to enter a team or sponsor a golf prize. By charging a modest fee to participate in the golf outing you can raise quite a substantial amount of money

Sponsored Dart Match

Again this event can be organised by approaching your local publican for permission to hold a fundraising dart match. Ask your local dart team to help you organise the event and distribute sponsorship cards.

Bring & Buy Sale

Organise a collection of unwanted cloths, books, toys, cosmetics and other bric-abrac in your area and find a suitable location to host a ‘Bring & Buy’ Sale. A local community or school hall would be an ideal venue, as it should come equipped with tables to display the goods. Advertise your event in the local newspaper and by putting posters in shops and pubs in the area

Gourmet Raffle

Approach some of your local restaurants and ask if they will donate a voucher for an evening meal for 2 people. Many will include a bottle of wine as part of the package. You can then hold a Raffle using the vouchers as prizes. Depending on how many restaurants respond to your appeal, you can have a selection of 4/5 restaurants for first prize, 3 for second and 1 for third. Suggested prices for the tickets are €25 to €30 each. Good luck!

Charity Shave-a-thon

Possibly for only the bravest of the brave, this event is a fun way to raise funds. Get together some of your male or female friends – colleagues and issue them with sponsorship cards. They in turn can collect sponsorship from their families, friends and workmates. Your local pub would be an ideal location for participants to lose their locks, helped no doubt by the fact that an abundance of dutch courage is close to hand. You will also find there are plenty of barbers who will give their services free to perform the dastardly deed!!

Swimathon

As the weather starts to improve you could organise a swimathon. This could take place in your local pool or if you are near the sea. – why not brave it! Ask the swimming club to get involved and again distribute sponsorship cards. Volunteers, not swimming, could be on hand with hot drinks for those who brave it.

Race Nite

Why not organise a race nite in your local pub. Sell the races, trainers, horses and jockey’s before hand and on the night have a bookmaker to set the odds for each race. It is a great fun night and a good way to raise funds.
