PINK HEREFORD

Last year you managed to raise over £10,000 - will you be able to have even more pink fun to help us beat that figure in 2010?

Fundraising Ideas

With friends and family

Pink Karaoke Night – Ask a local karaoke bar to lend you the venue for a night and charge friends to come along. Try and persuade the bar to donate a percentage of their takings.

Sponsored Silence – Challenge friends and family to stay silent for 24 hours. Set a sponsorship target for each person and charge a penalty if they fail.

Dinner Party – Cook a pink themed dinner for 10 or maybe even 20 friends,  and charge say £10 each.

At work

Dress up or Dress down day – Ask your company if staff could have a dress up in pink day, maybe everyone wears pink and pays £2 to do so with a £5 penalty for those who don’t.  Alternatively ask if you can hold a dress down day where staff may wear jeans or casual clothes with a pink theme, but pay for the privilege.

Company Matching – Some companies have a matching policy whereby they will ‘match’ the amount raised by their employees and donate this to the charity. If they are not keen on this why not ask them to simply make a donation to the charity.

Best dressed pet competition – Get staff to bring in photographs of their pets dressed up and pay £1 to enter a competition. Ask staff to vote on the best dressed pet and give the winner a bottle of pink champagne (hopefully donated by your local off licence).

Pink Abseiling - Do you work in a tall building? Could you abseil down in a pink tutu?

Slave Auction - All those in pink are auctioned as slaves to raise money.

In the community

Quiz Night – Ask for the loan of your village hall or local pub and invite friends and the locals to a pink themed quiz night.  Charge an entry fee and perhaps hold a raffle.

Sponsored Pink cycle ride with your friends and family

Guess the Weight of a pink object with a prize for the winner.

At School, College or University

Mufti Day – Why not ask if you can have a pink themed dress down or a dressing up day and ask that students pay to dress up (and pay a forfeit if they don’t).           

Themed Party – Having a pink  themed party and charging an entry fee is a great way to raise money. How about a pink alphabet letter party - where everyone has to come dressed up as something pink beginning with a certain letter of the alphabet!

Pink Arm Wrestling tournament - you can only arm wrestle if you are wearing inflated pink swimming armbands
