Japan Fundraising


Guest

Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

Me and my friends are thinking about organising a fund raising event to help raise money for Japan. We are thinking of hiring a huge function room and charge people £5-£10 to get in and then during the night have different entertainment and games/raffles etc as an incentive for people to come. Some of my friends work for T4 and other television production companies so they are trying to get different performers/stand up comedians etc to come but we are struggling to think of other types of entertainment/games/raffles etc that we could do. does any one have any ideas or words of advice that would help?????????//

thanks kate

dear katiepotatie we are all of course devasted about the problems in Japan but as yet i do not believe there is any fundraising being done. Japan is the third largest economy in the world and as such will probably be able to see to its own needs (unlike haiti) the issue is the long term economy and the worlds financiers are already dealing with that. So although i admire your efforts i am not sure there will be a fund for you to send the money to unless you have personal connections out there...even comic relief were unable to find an outlet for funds as yet.

What about an Auction of Promises - My sons school used to do these and they were fun and raised lots of money. The idea is that rather than items being auctioned (although you can do this too) people offered the 'promise' of a service - such as 10 hours of gardening, babysitting, dog walking etc. Creating a meal for 2 / 4, baking a celebration cake. Golf lessons, swimming lessons etc. Whatever skills people have.

Save the Children is fundraising for the thousands of displaced children in Japan so that they can provide safe spaces for these highly traumatised children. I think the sheer scale of devastation in Japan has meant that this one country is unable to cope alone without the support of others, and we see specialist teams being sent in from around the world. Other charities are also fundraising for specific purposes.

hi all

 

thanks very much for all your support and advice. We are donating to the red cross Japan Tsunami Appeal and hope to raise as much money as possible. We have already got a lot of services free such as a function room holding up to 350 people, catering from a very kind catering company and a dj for entertainment. We have contacted local radio stations to see if they can contact companies to donate items to auction off, every one is being really helpful which is fantastic it is for an amazing course. I like the idea of auction promises Sam fab thanks.

 

Thanks again i really appreciate your ideas.
