Fundraising ideas

Are you planning to fundraising for Cam Sight? We have pulled together a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing:

Cake sale: Whether at home or work, there is always time for cake! Invite your friends over for a coffee morning or afternoon tea, asking for a small donation to come. Or host a Great British Bake Off-style competition at work. After the winner is declared, you can sell the entries for donations.

Challenge yourself: Have you always wanted to start running, cycling, swimming, or another endurance exercise? Why not motivate yourself by asking friends and family to sponsor your efforts and raise some funds for Cam Sight.

Adrenaline challenge: If you want to do something more extreme, try doing a sponsored sky dive or bungee jump. Most organisers will give you a reduced fee if you are doing it for charity.

Swear jar: another good fundraiser for self improvement. Set up a swear jar to keep yourself (or friends and colleague) from using swears or even excessive puns. In the same vein, you could do a sponsored silence or sponsored sacrifice of a vice.

Fancy dress: Pick a theme and challenge your friends, family, or colleagues to the most outrageous costumes. Or you could just have a dress down or non-uniform day, with you aren't feeling quite so adventurous. 

 

Whether you’re planning on organising a fundraising Bake Off competition with colleagues or planning to run a marathon, Cam Sight can help you promote your fundraiser through our social media channels and provide you with a fundraising pack to help you get the most out of your fundraising efforts. Email Jenny Medcalf or phone 01223 420033. Remember, if you are doing a fundraiser at work, make sure you talk to your employer to see if they would be willing to match your fundraising efforts. 

 

If you don't fancy organising your own fundraising event, head over to our Fundraising Events page to get involved with a Cam Sight event.
