Make Sure Your Club Doesn’t Miss Out
on May Madness 2009
The British Judo Trust’s
annual themed fundraising month for judo clubs is back. This initiative
means that organising a fundraising event has never been easier,
as you will be provided with everything you need to have lots
of fun whilst also raising some valuable extra funds for your
club!
Any Club that organises
a fundraising day or activity as part of the month of judo will
keep 50% of the total amount of money raised by their club. The
other half of the money raised will go to the British Judo Trust,
to benefit the sport across the UK as a whole.
After a successful May
Madness in 2008, with over £5000 being raised, we hope that this
year will see more clubs taking part. Last year’s activities included:
Sponsored throws
Superstars event
Sponsored fun runs
Fun Days
Fight Nights
Judo Taster Evenings
What will your Club
choose to do this year? Getting involved is really straightforward
– the process is as follows:
- Send an email to info@britishjudotrust.org.uk
to register your interest and to request a fundraising
pack or contact Emma Davies-Carolan on 01509 631693
- Once you receive your pack, use the information enclosed to
help you decide on a fundraising activity, a date and a location
- Use the templates provided in the pack to promote your fundraising
activity within your Club, in your local area and on the British
Judo Trust website
- Have fun whilst raising money for your Club and for judo in
the UK!
