Charity Events

[Echowitch]

Anyone have any suggestions on organising charity fundraising tournament events ?

I.E. where to make the money .........billing players to play, or collection tins & buckets, charging for spectator entry, or asking for dealer contributions ??

Any suggestions on what locations are good for such events, which dealers and companies, (PGI, Dye, WDP, Eclipse, JT, etc, etc,) are Smashy & Nicey ? (I.E. All for Charity Mate )

Any help or suggestions would be great

I think this was absoultely ages ago but didn't a team called Tremor do something for parkinsons disease so when you bought something it some money went to charity? I'm not sure. Was in PGi

But that might be a better idea instead of people paying to watch paintball you could hold an event where some of the entry fee goes to charity and some of whatver's sold on the day goes to charity aswell as donations.

Just thinking aloud!

That was one idea I'd had. I.E. asking vendors who attend to give a percentage of their sales on the day to the charity, or them paying a single "attendance fee". A Spectator fee would only be an absolute minimum, £1-2. Not the daft amounts they charge for football matches. Or instead of the usual game playing charges, have those fee's go towards the charity.

How was the North VS South game fundraising raised ? Maybe emulating that model might work.

Incidentally the organisation Im looking to do an event for is Bliss. The Premature Baby charity. My son was born on the 14th of November 3 months premature (he is still in Hospital and is in fact on his fourth Hospital since being born,) and Bliss are a huge help to Neo-Natal units, premature babies, and their parents, including running advice and counselling support.

I thought it would be nice to help them as they've helped my wife and I and all the other premie babies and their parents.
