Here at SRSB we value every penny that is raised towards
helping adults and children living with blindness. Thankfully there are lots of
people out there who want to raise money for brilliant causes such as ours. If
you want to do something a little different to fundraise for charity, take a
look at our top 5 weird and wonderful fundraising ideas:
1) Aerobathon
This is very much an endurance challenge. Aerobics is a
great exercise if you want to become more flexible, strengthen your heart, and
reduce body fat. The aerobathon can last as long as 6 hours if you really want
a challenge but a solid 3 hour session should still raise a lot of sponsor money.
2) Eurovision Party
If you want to throw a party and raise some funds in the
process why not go for a Eurovision theme? Dress up as anybody who has ever
competed. Get everyone to bring a picture of the original so that you can
compare and pick a winner. Either charge people £1 to come or run a quiz and bingo
and charge £1 to join; all proceeds going to the charity.
3) Weight Gain Challenge
Okay, this might sound a little unhealthy but it could raise
a lot of money. There are always plenty of people training for a charity
triathlon or run but why not shake things up and give yourself a challenge to gain weight? This is a truly selfless
act as you’re not going to be getting fit and looking good, you are genuinely
sacrificing your flat stomach for charity.
4) Waxing
A painful but brave idea. You could get your eyebrows waxed
off (they’ll grow back soon!) or if you’re a gentleman who thinks that a
“Brazillian” is just a person from Brazil, then a full-body wax could raise a
lot of cash.
5) Be a Quitter
If you have a bad habit such as smoking or eating too much
chocolate then get sponsored to quit for a month. If you have been a smoker for
a while then people will understand that this is tough. They will respect you
for doing it and you might find that the habit is well and truly kicked
afterwards.
