Support Tsunami-HANDAID by organising a fundraising event
Collecting funds can be fun. Here are our suggestions for a successful fundraising event:
Do what you like best
- Are you a passionate hiker? Have your friends and family sponsor you on a hike.
- Love cooking? Invite people to a 5 course dinner and donate an entry fee to our cause.
- Have you bought too many shoes? Invite all your girlfriends and sell or swap your shoes for a price.
- Do you love story telling? Organize a fairy-tale afternoon for all the kids in the neighborhood and sell tickets for it.
- Do your kids need some fun and physical activity? Suggest that they offer to wash cars for a fee.
Be creative. As long as you and your participants enjoy what they are doing, your fundraising event will be a success.
Plan ahead
Set a fixed date for the event and give yourself enough time to prepare it. Keep in mind that most people are very busy and won’t join you in a last-minute activity.
Spread the word
Inform as many people as possible (using social media) and allow them to bring friends. Ask them to register for the event so that you can estimate the number of people you will have to attend to.
Be specific
Give detailed information about the project you want to raise funds for. Also include the costs (e.g. 20 CHF for a pair of shoes, 10 CHF for every km you hike etc.) and set a goal of how much money you would like to raise. This gives your participants a clear idea and a motivation.
Even a small amount can make a big difference to the recipients of your donation. Tsunami-HANDAID will make sure that it reaches its destination.
