Other Ways to Fundraise towards Camp 100

Group Fundraising ideas

Groups and districts can do lots of things to raise money towards Camp 100. The below ideas could help you raise enough to rent a minibus to get you to camp or support members of your group to attend for whom finance may be a barrier. The below could also help to go towards buying new equipment for camp too. You can get the whole group involved in fundraising, organising events, making things and inviting friends, family and others from your local community to donate and support your group.

You could try:

• Hosting a pea fair
• Creating and hosting a quiz night sell tickets for people to attend
• Host a ceilidh and sell tickets for people to attend
• Gain sponsorship for taking part in a planned activity e.g. a hike, run, swim, silence, bake off etc.
• Get sponsored to take part in one or some our 100 100s
