Here you will find some ideas for fundraising challenges and events you can organise to support Fundaci\u00f3n Cudeca.

Shaving your head, growing a beard, turning up to an event in fancy dress\u2026 Ian Froment let his friends and family decide whether he should shave off his beard or keep it. Many people suggested he shave it off so they could see his face again, while others told him it suited him.<\/p>

He turned that vote into a charity event to benefit Cudeca and another charity, Macmillan: those who wanted him to shave donated to Cudeca, and those who wanted him to keep it donated to Macmillan. Whatever the outcome, charity was the winner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

If sport is your passion, this is the event for you! Organise a charity sports event and donate the entry fees to Cudeca, or set yourself a challenge to raise donations from your friends and family.<\/p>

You can also encourage your sports club to organise a charity tournament where the entry fees are donations.<\/p>

That is what Michael Moorcroft did: despite being a novice walker, he took on a very tough challenge, climbing La Maroma in memory of his mother, and shared his initiative with his contacts to raise donations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

If crafts are your thing, use your skills to give life to days. That is what Crist\u00f3bal Corral did, hand-knitting the scarves displayed as a Christmas tree at the open day of the Living Pilates studio in Fuengirola.<\/p>

If you organise an activity like this, tell people what motivates you and how you did it, how they can buy the items and what share will go to Cudeca.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

These are occasions when people usually give gifts or money: the perfect opportunity to ask for a charitable donation instead of presents. It could be your birthday, an anniversary or any date that matters to you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Do you have knowledge or a skill that others might be interested in? Create and run a workshop to share it, with the registration fee as a donation to Cudeca.<\/p>

That is what our volunteer Merche L\u00f3pez Valdivia does, running charity workshops for the Foundation. What better way to help than by sharing what you know!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

At Cudeca we have a visual identity that represents us as an organisation. That is why every initiative you organise should carry the Cudeca logo.<\/strong> For any questions about using the Cudeca brand, write to eventos@cudeca.org<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Don't be afraid to ask for money! The cause you are supporting is a worthy one and deserves people's support. Use every channel available to share your fundraising: much of its success will depend on how you share it with friends, family and acquaintances. Social media, email, messages and word of mouth are the best ways to make your message travel as far as possible.<\/p>

Use Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, LinkedIn<\/strong> or whichever social network your contacts use. You can also send an email to your contact list.<\/p>

WhatsApp and text messages<\/strong> are usually good channels for sharing this kind of charity initiative, as long as you don't send too many messages and you personalise them.<\/p>

Close friends and family are always more likely to donate, so get them involved from the start: that way, others will see the cause already has support.<\/p>

Fundraisers usually run for several weeks. To keep interest alive, keep your contacts updated on how your event or challenge is going. For example:<\/p>
