Boost The Success of Your Fundraiser with Fundraising Extras

You’d be amazed the amount of money and breast cancer awareness you can raise by adding on a few fundraising extras before your charity marathon

Ticket sales are an important part of many fundraisers but you can increase the money raised as well as increase the fun level by having additional games, stalls and attractions! You’d be amazed the difference it can make adding on a few fundraising extras!

These can range from the old favourite of a raffle to guess the weight of the cake or the number of sweets in a jar, find the hidden treasure and so many more!

Don't just take our word for it... Jenny and Sarah blogged all about their fundraising success...


Major fundraisers can be enhanced by holding an auction. This can either be a live auction with an auctioneer or a silent auction. Whichever format you opt for good prizes are a must, so it’s worth approaching local businesses and organisations for donations. You can group smaller prizes together to make a great one and get that bidding going!

Heads and tails game (great for after dinner) or Higher/Lower
