I've been considering doing this for several years but always been put off by the prospect of having to raise such a huge amount of money & the thought that I would end up simply asking my close friends and family to pay for a holiday for me. So I've decided as long as I organise events that people can have fun at or do things that are useful and people would happily pay for anyway, I should be able to raise the funds without making my family & friends want to take out an injunction against me and have loads of fun at the same time!
I have a long, long list of potential fundraising activities I'd welcome people's comments on, particularly what you'd be willing to put your hands in your pockets for and what you'd rather chew your own arm off than pay for!
So, here goes:
Catering other people's dinners/parties in return for donations
Curry night
Sari fashion show & auction
Making birthday cakes for donations
Come Dine With Me competition
Rent out my (many, many) beautiful dresses
Quiz night
Give people manicures/pedicures/or provide pamper days
Olympic sweepstake
Bad taste party
BBQ
Pot luck dinner
Tomato throwing party (think La Tomatina in Spain)
Badminton tournament
Singathon
Donate your coppers
Treasure hunt
Jigsaw marathon
Pancake party
Games evening
Tuck shop
Sponsored runs/swims
Cake sales
Raffle
Wine tasting evening
So, what do you think? Would you pay to take part in any of these activities?
