Macmillan Cancer 

Costs:

Balloon Race – £39.00

Amounts Raised:

£300 – £400 Each race

Feedback:

“For the last 4/5 years we have hosted online events such as a Christmas Balloon race and an Easter Duck race. (See link to our Enthuse page below). On average we tend to raise between £300 – £400 per race.

This is a link to our Enthuse Donation page which the national Macmillan team prefers us to use. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you will see links to our current duck race and last December’s balloon race.  Sadly the links to other online events we have hosted have been removed. (Enthuse Page Link)

The costs incurred whilst undertaking our fundraising activities are minimal because they are hosted and conducted on the whole by our committee members and family & friends.

Our costs for the two online events are approx. £60 per event. (Balloon Race: £35 and Amazon Voucher £25) which makes the events very profitable.”
