Additional Information
Are you organising a fundraising event and are looking for new and original ways to try and raise money for your cause? If you are then why not consider a charity path or wall? This is a unique way of helping to raise funds for your cause. Your sponsor`s names are added to the wall by brick etching their name on to the brick. Selling and etching bricks is not only a lot of fun it also rewards your sponsor with a permanent reminder of their generous donation, as well as being a time proven method of generating much needed funds for schools, hospitals, universities, sports facilities, museums, and many, many more such institutions. Brick etching is a very easy process to do, and you have a choice of whether your names are engraved in black, or in gold. If you would rather have a wall than a path then why not choose the brick slips system - where a brick has been cut to enable you to add the brick etching panel on to either an internal or external wall.
I have been asked to try to help raise some funds for the local football team who, after having a number of successful years have recently found themselves languishing at the bottom the league and with poor management at boardroom level, lack of sponsorship and falling attendances are threatened with closure due to unpaid debts. This would be a disaster for the local community, for which the football club do a lot of good work and for their thousands of adoring fans. I was thinking of fundraising ideas the other night while I was watching the television. A team of celebrities completed a non-stop relay bicycle race from John O` Grouts to Lands End and comedian who completed a staggering 43 marathons in 51 days all in aid of Sport Relief. After watching these events, it got me thinking about different ways of raising money and other fundraising ideas that hadn`t been done before. Now, although both of the events I watched for Sport Relief were amazing achievements they are not necessarily something the vast majority of people who follow the local football team could get involved in. Other, more suitable fundraising ideas I thought of was a 5-a-side football tournament for the fans and auctioning off club merchandise such as players shirts or football boots.
Fundraising for a charity or worthy cause can be really fun activity to get involved in, not to mention how rewarding it could be as raising regular amounts of money can be vital for charities and organizations to keep going. There are many different ways of raising money and many fundraising ideas are tried, tested and have been done many times before, which is great, but the really good and successful ideas are the ones where people think outside the box and do things that may not have necessarily been done before. Charity parachute jumps, fun runs and raffles have been done by charities in the past but have you thought about starting a loyalty fundraising scheme? For example loyalty fundraising could involve people donating or sponsoring a brick for a new school sports hall and in return the sponsor could have their name or company logo engraved into the brick. Another example of loyalty fundraising is having a local business donate a percentage of their profits each month to a sports or youth club in return, the sports club will display the local business logo on the teams sports kit. This sort of fundraising is beneficial as it guarantees regular income to your charity.
