Take part in a fundraising challenge:
This is always fun! Here are some examples of active challenges that you can participate in around SA:
The Cape Argus
Cape Town Cycle Tour
Cape Town Marathon
The Colour Run
Local Events:
Host a Golf Day, Charity Gala, Banquet (many restaurants will be keen to get involved and often have charity meal packages or buffets), or a beach clean-up in order to gather your friends and family together to raise some funds for honey’s Garden!
Choose a challenge:
A few of our families have created their own challenges and have had great success in fundraising! This may be a cycle, a swim or a ride in aid of a future hero!
Get baking:
Why not bake biscuits or make fudge to sell at your church, school or place of work? You will be surprised to see how much fudge sells for when people know that there is a personal good cause, and some love sweat and tears behind it!
Get creative:
Create something that people like and sell it in aid of a future hero, some examples are plant pots, dog leads, cushions, dollies, jewellery, hair braids. The possibilities are endless really!
Schools in:
Ask your school to run a civilians day in aid of Honey's Garden!
Clear out:
Why not clear out some of your old things and join a market day or car boot sale!
Photo booth:
Everybody is obsessed with photos these days! A photo booth is easy to set up if you have access to a good camera, a large colourful sheet and have a love for photography! Gather some props, ask your friends or family if you can attend their parties and set up a photo point! Sell these pictures for a donation towards the cause and email them their photo!
Use your skills:
Do you participate in any shows with your talent or want to create your own? Horse riding? Motor Cycling? Fishing? Paintball? Competitors would compete for prizes but pay a donation to enter. You could also include a raffle, some food or market stalls and a game element to really boost the donations.
Car wash or dog wash:
Host a car or dog wash in your local areas!
Host a Quiz Night:
At home, school or the local pub! You can run a “pub quiz” and ask for donated prizes to raise money. You could also host a talent show at school or work!
