Sponsored Events
Every year, hundreds of events take place across the country to raise money for charity. Whether you prefer to walk, bike, run, climb a mountain or even skydive, a sponsored event is a great way to raise money for the Foundation while raising awareness about PBC.
The biggest of these is the London Marathon. In the past, members and their family members have also participated in marathons in other cities throughout the UK and around the world. But, if a marathon is about 25.5 miles too long - don't despair! There are shorter runs which take place all over the country – please contact us if you’d like to find out about events in your area.
There are also local events that we at the Foundation may not be aware of. If there are any sponsored events that you would like to take part in, we will support you and help in your applications wherever we can.
If you have decided to raise money for the Foundation through a sponsored event, please contact the office and we will send you a sponsorship pack.
Make sponsorship easier with Just Giving
We also encourage you to set up a sponsorship page through JustGiving. Donations can be made online using credit or debit cards, Gift Aid can be easily reclaimed, and the money is sent directly to the Foundation, which means you don’t have to worry about handling cash.
Go to the Foundation’s JustGiving page and click “Make Your Page”.
Once the page has been set up, you can easily email the link to friends and family. JustGiving has a whole page of great tips on how to create your page and spread the word about your event.
If all this sounds too overwhelming, contact the Foundation to have us help you set up your page. The Foundation can also promote your event through Facebook and Twitter.
