There are hundreds of ways to fundraise and below are just a few. However, they may help to stimulate other creative ideas that will work for you and raise as much funds as possible for the diabetes community.

You can organise your own fundraising event for the project of your choice – here are some ideas:

• Do a parachute jump
• Organise a head shave or leg waxing fundraising event
• Participate in local fun runs and marathons
• Organise a Talent competition or karaoke night
• Organise a head shave or leg waxing fundraising event
• Organise a quiz or race night
• Organise Tea/Coffee Morning at home for your friends or in work for your colleagues. We can give you a “Tea 4 Diabetes” support pack which includes a diabetes knowledge quiz you can use at your party
• Organise a lunchtime stroll for your work colleagues and charge them a fee to participate.
• Why not ask your employer to match the fund raised from your colleagues ?
• Have a poker night with your friends, charge an entry fee or have the winnings going to the Diabetes Ireland
• Become a chef for the evening and invite 10 friends to dinner at €20 per person.

Alternatively, you can simply take the hard work out of raising money by setting up your own sponsorship page on www.mycharity.ie  under our section and simply email everyone you know asking them to sponsor you.

Don’t forget to talk to us about your event as we will be able to help you with promotion materials such as posters, sponsorship cards etc.
