Add sparkle to your fundraiser! So, you’ve put loads of effort in and you’ve got your event organised. But do enough people know about it? Have you made it the topic of conversation around the water cooler at work? Have all of your friends cleared their diaries just so they can help you raise money to support people affected by cancer? If you can answer yes to the three questions above, then you sound like you know what you’re doing. But that’s not to say our guide to adding sparkle to your fundraiser couldn’t help people who are experts at raising money. And if you can’t answer yes to the three questions above, then read on, quick smart. Publicity materials Get your event noticed with eyecatching materials and Macmillan branded merchandise. Create posters, flyers and much more at Macmillan’s fantabulous www.be.macmillan.org.uk. No special skills are needed and there are many, many designs to choose from.
