Make the dream a reality and experience the awesome rush of a 10,000ft tandem skydive.

At no cost to yourself if you raise the minimum sponsorship, what better way to raise vital funds for Prostate Cancer Research.

Parachute jumps are available all year round at locations nationwide.

No experience is required and full training is given on the day.

Organising your own events

If you are feeling creative, you may wish to organise your own event for Prostate Cancer Research Foundation.

You could organise a sports day, host a comedy night or even have a pants party in your garden. Almost any event can be sponsored so the opportunities for raising money are endless.

There are lots of tried and tested ideas and we'd love to hear from you if you have any more.

Making it successful

The key to organising your own event is to make it as much fun for everyone as possible and to enjoy yourself. You can be as creative as you like, but remember to plan well in advance in order that the event will reward your enthusiasm with Success.

Plenty of help on offer

If you decide to organise your own event, we're here at all times to offer help, support and encouragement.

We'll send you a fundraising pack, which includes lots of fundraising ideas, handy hints and tips, advice on drawing up a budget and promoting your event in the local media.

Call Chris in the Fundraising team on 020 7953 7152, or click here to email with all of your ideas or for further information to maximise your fundraising effort.

We really appreciate it

Raising funds is no doddle and we do appreciate all of the time and effort that you dedicate to raising money for Prostate Cancer Research Foundation.

Ensure that you plan ahead, be informative and enthusiastic, and keep people interested in the cause.

Some hints to get you started

• Write to absolutely everyone you know, ask friends, family, colleagues, and neighbours to support and sponsor you. If they give the money up front, it saves you a lot of work later.
• Ask the powers-that-be at work to match what you raise.
• If you are a member of any clubs or associations, ask them to donate, participate or help with a venue.
• Ask your local gym/ sports club to support you, and you could even ask your local pub.
• Write to your local press. Something quirky to catch the attention and interest of the general public may be the most effective way of encouraging people to sponsor you and to get coverage of the event.
• Never forget the Gift Aid advantage. 28p can be added to every £1 you raise in sponsorship through the Gift Aid scheme, at no extra cost to you.
• All you have to do is ensure that your sponsors tick the Gift Aid consent box on your form, giving full names, home addresses and postcodes so that we can confirm the Gift Aid claim.
• And don't forget to send a photo.
