Fundraise for Why 17?
There are so many ways that you can fundraise for our Why17? campaign and help us raise money for vital research that could prevent babies dying.
Getting involved couldn’t be easier – just take the number 17 and turn it into something positive. You could cover a distance of 17km’s or 17 miles for example, or hold an event on the 17th or give up something for 17 weeks (or months even!).
Run, walk, swim, jog, cycle, hike, jump, climb, play, abseil, zip slide, dance, sail, drink, eat, bake, sell…the possibilities are endless…as long as it can raise money and it’s fun (fundraising should always be about having fun!!)…or for those that like a challenge what about one of each of that list as there are 17 suggestions coincidentally!!
Other ideas include:
• Make a donation for £1.70 or £17 or even £170.
• Set up a regular donation for £1.70 or £17 or even £170.
• Email 17 friends and tell them about Sands and the Why 17? campaign.
• Run, walk, swim or cycle 17 miles.
• Hold an event on the 17th day of the month.
• Invite 17 friends to coffee and ask each to donate £1.
• Organise a number of different fundraising events and aim to raise £1,700.
• Give up something for 17 days, weeks or months.
The list is endless...be as creative as you can be with the number 17!
