Fun Ways to Raise Money For Charity

Bag packing - Get in touch with your local supermarket (via an email, telephone call or better yet, in person). Explain your cause and see if it is possible to arrange a date and time where you and 6-20 other people can pack shoppers bags (at the shoppers request) and ask for a donation from the shoppers. I did this one afternoon with 11 people and made over 1600. Its simple and raises awareness with your community. Face Painting - Got an artistic side? Any big sporting or local family events coming up? If so face painting can be a really fun way to raise some extra funds. You can find face painting kits at almost any party shop, and if you have never done it before you can simply practice on each other. Sponsored Athletic Challenge - Can you see yourself running a marathon? If not do not worry, it is not necessary to do something this extreme in order to raise money. Simply choose a challenge that is a little outside of your comfort zone. The whole point of this is that its a challenge, so if your a top athlete try something hard but if you are no Iron Man then do something appropriate to your fitness level. If worried, consult a doctor before you attempt any too strenuous! Barbeque - Host a barbeque for your family, friends and neighbors. This can be a really fun day and need not be expensive. Ask everyone for a donation upon arrival and provide them with some pop and food. You could even ask the local butcher or supermarket to donate provisions for the event or maybe even just a discount on your purchase. On a sunny day this can be a very fun day that helps your fund grow. There are literally hundreds of personal challenges you can do to get sponsorship, whether its skydiving for the first time, shaving your head, waxing your chest (for men!), or letting people throw a cream pie in your face! Remember to not only ask friends and family for sponsorship, but also local businesses. Spread the word as far as you can.
