Raising money :))))))))))))))))))

Hopefully you already saw my last post that I am going to join the LSHTM swim for malaria. Now I am asking for your sponsorship!

The follow suggesstion is from http://www.worldswim4malaria.com/en/Sponsorship.aspx

We hope every swimmer will raise some sponsorship money. After all, that’s what this is all about. There is no minimum amount of money an individual has to raise. Each person raises money on a best efforts basis.

Most people will raise money through traditional sponsorship i.e. by asking relatives, friends, colleagues etc to sponsor them an amount per distance or a fixed amount. If you are sponsored ’fixed amounts’ and not an amount per length etc, you then have the option of collecting the sponsorship money up front in the weeks before the swim and not afterwards. Some swims might decide to charge an entry fee to those taking part instead of swimmers raising money individually. It’s up to you.

For younger children a sponsorship form is appropriate, if not necessary. Part of the fun is seeing the sponsorship form fill up with names.

Some people may not want to take round a sponsorship form so why not use email? Email can be a very effective way of raising sponsorship money and requires very little time.
