2006 - A Year of Charity fundraising
08/01/2007
Supporters who have raised money for SOS Children throughout 2006 for a variety of projects, some of which we highlight here:
Rosanna Yeung raised over £2,000 For the SOS Children's Village Blantyre, Malawi from a tandem skydive. You can see Rosanna in action in the photograph.
A Fashion show at Guildford High School supported our ongoing work in The Gambia.
Oldham Collage raised funds for a temporary shelter at Rawalpindi, Pakistan, following the earthquake in October 2005.
Instead of gifts for their wedding, Emma McDonald and Alistair Thompson asked friends and family to support the SOS Children's Village Pemba, Mozambique. The resulting donations total over £3,000. What a great alternative!
Don’t forget you can choose to support SOS Children in many ways - from birthday and wedding gifts, through to anniversary and retirement gifts. What about getting active in your fundraising? A new year and why not get healthy at the same time - marathons, half marathons and sponsored events. If you and friends, family and colleagues get together you could hold a raffle or a make collection at work. Endless ways to give hope to orphans. We have a Donate and Help section for more details that might suit you. If you would like some inspiration you can take a look at our A to Z of Fundraising.
