Halloween

Halloween is a perfect excuse to have a party and why not try and fundraise while having a good time!

Many Challengers have been telling us this month they will be holding Halloween parties but how can they make more money than the ticket price.

Here are a few tips to gain extra funds during your party:

  1. Your ticket price needs to include something- make sure all your Halloween games are free.
  2. Earn extra funds by charging for refreshments e.g. toffee apples.
  3. Put on a raffle and sell the tickets- get prizes from local businesses, you can find letters for these on the My World Challenge Website.

At School or at a local youth club you could charge people to enter a pumpkin carving competition. You could even collect the spare pumpkin and make pumpkin pie or soup to sell at the event!

Here in the office the charity committee has bee planning a Halloween day at work; everyone who wants to dress up for the day will pay a £1. All monies raised will go to the Thomas Ball Children’s Cancer fund and save the children.
