Following the World Cup? Make it a winner for the Foundation!

18 June 2010

Football World Cup fever is upon us! It's been four long years since the last tournament and we're all looking forward to a great summer of football. What better way to celebrate than with our fantastic football fundraising ideas?

Football kit dress-down day


This is a perfect fundraising idea for companies or schools. Basically it's a dress-down day with a World Cup twist! Everyone pays to take part, and if people don't like football why not suggest that instead of wearing a football shirt they dress as one of the countries taking part in the tournament?

Your own football tournament


Turn a kick-around into cash with a five-a-side football tournament in aid of the Brain and Spine Foundation. Charge teams a fee to enter and set up a tournament either on one day or over a series of weeks.

World Cup screenings


Why go out when you can invite friends and family to watch the match in your own living room? Raise some money for the Brain and Spine Foundation at the same time by charging a small fee to attend. Why not enhance the experience by having food and drink inspired by the countries playing?

You could also add some extra fundraising to the afternoon or evening with a raffle or some football-themed games.
