Fundraising
Some ideas to get you started!
- Players can raise sponsorship using their sponsor form or by setting up a fundraising page on www.justgiving.com/stc
- Tournament organisers can charge an entry fee
- Players and organisers can sell tickets for our tennis draw (only to be sold by or to those over 16 years of age)
- Tournament Organisers can organise a refreshment stall, BBQ or cake stall
- You could hold your own raffle
- Or put a collection box in your reception area

For the adult and junior events, we suggest you encourage players to raise at least £10 for Save the Children - but preferably much more! Every event raises at least enough to pay for a doctor for one month in a street children's centre in Afghanistan or a sewing machine to help a family earn money in South Africa.
For the corporate players we would hope each player can reach the target of £250 through sponsorship from co-workers and friends, workplace initiatives, and the company matching funds.
