Some Ideas to get you Started…
Asking for Donations Instead of Gifts
Ask your friends and family to make donations to CLAPA instead of gifts for your birthday, anniversary, Christmas or anything else you might be celebrating! You can share why CLAPA is important to you and make your special day a fundraiser.
You could do this by setting up a Just Giving page or Facebook Giving page. They are quick, easy and safe to use. Sharing these on social media or with family members can really help boots who your fundraiser will reach!
Birthdays
‘DONATE’ your birthday this year.
Turn your birthday celebration into a fundraiser with friends and family. Ask friends and family to support everyone affected by Cleft in the UK (instead of dishing out on presents and parties).
Hold a Raffle or Tombola
Another way to bring fundraising into your event is to hold a raffle or tombola! This would work particularly well at larger scale events, the more people you can sell tickets to, then the more money you will raise!
CLAPA can provide a letter of introduction that will allow you to approach businesses for prizes.
Please Note: in order to hold a raffle without a license you will need to draw all winners on the same day as you sell the tickets. If you would like to sell tickets in advance, please contact our fundraising team on [email protected] beforehand.
Weddings
By asking your guests to donate to CLAPA instead of giving a wedding gift, you could give families affected by Cleft a reason to celebrate.
You could do this by setting up a Just Giving page or by asking for gifts made by Cheque Payable to ‘CLAPA’.
Wedding favors
You can support CLAPA by buying our Pin badges which make wonderful gifts or place settings for your wedding, special occasion or event to add that flawless finishing touch.
