Ideas for Fundraising
|
-
Choose a weekend of training a few weeks in advance, invite all your swimmers to get involved in a big sponsored swim to see how many lengths they can do in a limited time. Each can get sponsors & then give a prize to the swimmer who raises the most.
-
Hold a sponsored relay swim. Challenge another local club & see which relay team can do the most metres in an hour.
-
Hold a quiz evening for club members & their families with one section on swimming of course!
-
Hold an OC Disco/Karaoke and sell the tickets.
-
Hold a promise Auction.

-
Arrange a sponsored walk, inviting club members ( + extended families & friends ) to walk a well-known local landmark/ hill.
-
Hold a sponsored knit for spectators. They could knit some team hats /scarves/mascot in team colours!
-
Ask your club to donate a % of their profit from a gala/meet.
-
Hold a raffle & ask the club to donate a term’s coaching fees.
-
Have a picnic in the park & ask for a donation to attend.
-
Have a car boot/garage sale & sell anything you haven’t used in a year.
-
Have a Wear Number 6 Day at school/work. Wear what you like as long as it’s got a number 6 on it. (But remember to tell people what the 6 represents.)
-
Involve other people – people love to hear about teenagers doing good & will want to help. Your schools/colleges might like to help too. Tell local businesses what you are doing and invite them to help. Include a copy of my challenge page and poster with your letter.
