Charity fundraising - give me your ideas

[Littlepeahead]

As some of you know, I work in cricket and have decided to spend a couple of weeks of my annual leave next year volunteering for a charity called Cricket Without Boundaries. My placement will be in Uganda in late Feb/early March to teach the kids AIDS awareness in some very poor areas.

I need to raise £750 for the charity which pays for the education programmes they run as part of my commitment to the trip. I pay my own flight and meals so donations are not paying for a free holiday for me.

So, other than selling my body, which isn't going to raise much more than £2.56, what clever, creative, innovative fundraising ideas can you help me with?

Shave your head?

No, i;m joking, dont do that.

Hmmmm.... Will your bosses at work let you use the grounds for any of this? that little tour you gave me of the place was very interesting and i'm sure those who love cricket would donate something like a fiver or more for the same privilege?

You're a great cook, make some cakes/cookies and sell them at work, or soho to use greedy lot? Dunno if you do cakes n cookies tho.

Errrm, i'm sure i'll think of some more.

sponsored silence on the forum!
i think you 'll get more than £2.56 if you sell yourself as a slave for a set amount of time.
there is on with cocktail sticks but i'll need to look at that
if its AIDS awarenes - try doing our first one on world aids day - 1st Dec and you could theme it round something sexy - ie if poss - going to work in a long non see through negliee(sp)

I do bake cakes and cookies, I even came runner up in the MCC baking contest this year for my lemon triple decker sponge with home made lemon curd.

Anyone sponsor me to wax Spidey's chest?

there you go, bring some yummy stuff to soho, sell it for 50-£1 per slice (depending on the size of the slice of course...i know its for charity n all that but my belly has to be satisfied without an overdraft). Small problem is that as its gets colder less peeps will be there on fridays.

But hell, we can sell it to the passing public too, i'm sure Neros wont mind too much.
