fund raising ideas

fund raising ideas

Post by suzukisteve » Tue Feb 18, 2014 11:04 am

morning lads!

I done a sponsored walk at the weekend to raise money for my mates son who is disabled. Unfortunately the little guy has quad cerebral palsy and development delay due to brain seizures. im not asking anyone for money as thats not fair.

However I am asking for ideas. id like to do something off road based for obvious reasons, but I don't know what. maybe endurance or something like that?

the aim is to raise 6k through the year for new equipment.

any thoughts would be much appreciated :thumbup:

sponsored pay n play where money goes to the charity instead of the site ?

not a bad idea as long as the owners of the site are willing to accept no profit or unless I can hire a place. I was thinking of a trials day along the same sort of lines maybe

Off road treasure trail/hunt using the plain.

Pretty much open to all if you pick the right lanes.

ah! plan! I know a lot of lanes have voluntary closures at the mo, but they should open once they have drained off... hopefully.

dan, am I right in saying you have some detailed maps of the plains?

Yeah I've got a Google map.

You know what I mean yeah. Where you drive round looking for clues to the next location etc.
