Set up an online fundraising page

3. Select 'Longest Day Golf Challenge 2012' from the list of events and set up your page.
4. Email the link to your colleagues, friends and family, and get them to sponsor your heroic efforts.

Sponsorship form

Download additional copies of the sponsor form|. Feel free to photocopy the form to give to the rest of your team members. But please make sure you complete your team name and captain's name on your forms so the amount raised can be added to your team total.

PS. When using your form, try to make the first pledge a generous one – it'll encourage others to follow suit!

We love Gift Aid

Why? Because for every £1 people sponsor you, we can claim an extra 25p back from the Inland Revenue. So, make sure your sponsors fill in their full name and home address on your sponsorship form and tick the Gift Aid box. We'll do the rest. 

NB. Gift Aid does not apply to non-UK tax payers, Isle of Man and Channel Islands residents. Gift Aid does not count towards your team's fundraising total.

What you can do in...

a few minutes

See if your suppliers and other business contacts would like to sponsor you, or even enter a team in the challenge as well.

a few clicks

Get the media involved – publicise your challenge by emailing your local paper or radio station.

a lunch break

Ask your employer if they offer a 'matched-giving' scheme where they match the money you raise. Or maybe they'll give you a one-off donation to get you started. If you don't ask, you don't get…

a day

Hold a 'Longest Drive' or 'Nearest the Pin' competition one day at your golf club. Then donate the proceeds to Macmillan as part of your team fundraising.

an evening

Organise a quiz night or dinner at your golf club. You could also contact local businesses and ask for prizes that could be auctioned or raffled off. The possibilities, and the fun you can have, are endless.
