Fundraising Ideas
Without you The Peace Centre is nothing. Many people, students and adults, have contributed generously to the building and running of The Peace Centre by taking on a challenge and being sponsored for it. Why not join them? Take on your own challenge to help fundraise.
Thank you to everyone who has done a bake sale, running an 8K in a ridiculous animal costume, held a non-uniform day, shot basketball hoops for 5 hours, completed a sponsored silence, done a skipathon, a readathon or even a moronathon. Because every last penny of money raised goes directly into the community in Bukinda, these have all contributed to the massive change in the lives of children who would otherwise be without family, without schooling, and digging the fields in order to survive. |
Be inspired. Check out some ideas below from previous fundraising initiatives.
The MoronathonMike Shkurka ran 150km in 24 hours as part of the Shanghai. Most people do this event as a team relay race, but Mike put in a truly incredible solo effort to raise funds for The Peace Centre.

2000K in 2 weeksAndy Clapperton cycled 2006km in just a fortnight through mountainous northern Laos in 2013. He raised £1600 through his superhuman (and slightly crazy!) efforts. Check out a video of the ride at www.zi-xing.com.
