Fundraising events
Fundraising events range widely from fetes and local galas through to sponsored sports events, challenge events, overseas treks, entertainments, yard sales and fashion shows.
While they are organised to raise money, these sorts of events tend to have other objectives as well, like raising awareness of the cause and building contacts and support networks for the charities involved.
- Dinners/Galas – events hosted by the organisation that give Supporters the chance to meet members of staff, volunteers and perhaps even the individuals benefiting from the work the charity does. A fee is often charged for admission and fundraising may take place at the event.
- Challenge Events – team events such as a tug-of-war or individual challenges such as bungee jumping, overseas treks, parachuting and abseiling.
- Celebrity Events – Events offering the opportunity to see or meet a celebrity and sometimes to buy items they have donated.
- Fitness Events – sponsored walks, cycle rides, aerobathons, swimming galas and the like all enable people to enjoy physical activities and support a good cause at the same time.
