Auctions

You could hold an auction dinner. Ask individuals and local businesses for items that money can’t usually buy.

Individuals could offer an hours gardening, an evening babysitting, or a week in their holiday home. Local businesses could offer a studio portrait, a hamper or a haircut.

Sponsored Events

The possibilities are endless. Choose an event and collect sponsorship. You could run, swim, dance, sleep, sing, eat or be silent.

If you have planned a great event, don’t forget to contact your local press. The more people who know about your efforts, the more money and awareness you’re likely to raise.

Please contact us on info@ymca-humber.com for help with managing your fundraising and finding the simplest ways to collect donations and sponsorship for your event.
