Fundraising ideas A-Z

There are so many ways to fundraise for Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation – that don’t involve running a marathon! Choose your perfect fundraiser from our A-Z list below.

A: Alcohol-free zone

That’s right. No lager. No wine. Not even a shandy. But don’t worry, it’ll all be worth it, as you’ll be swapping those pints for pounds as you raise plenty of cash and feel fabulous in the process.

B: Brave enough to shave?

Do something amazing. Whatever your reason for shaving your hair off, whoever you do it for, you’ll be helping Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation support even more people living with lung cancer.

C: Coffee and cake

Join thousands of people across the country and have a day to remember with friends and colleagues. From savoury snacks to sweet treats, make it your own.

D: Do something extra special on your birthday

Swap presents for donations to mark your special occasions. Facebook makes it super easy for you to use your birthday to raise money for a cause that’s important to you.

Sell all your unwanted items online, whether that be C.Ds, books or clothes and either donate the money or a proportion of the money to Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.

F: Film night

Combine everything you love about the cinema with the comfort of your home with a film night! Raise funds by selling sweet and savoury snacks to your loved ones.
