Hi BD Just thought I'd post a link that may help Ultimate clubs raise some easy money (certainly for smaller or open clubs). A site called Easyfundraising.org.uk was set up to help Charities and Good causes by making agreements with online retailers to donate a % of users purchases to their chosen good cause (or Ultimate club in this case!). There are also free offers that users can subscribe to to make money for your club for nothing (as an example: Lovefilm.com will donate £8 for doing their 14 day free trial). You can also refer friends sports/scouts/social clubs to sign up and get a lifetime 20% referral bonus.
If you wish to sign up, click HERE<http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/referral/13078>. So far 3 of us in my club have signed up and we have made around £100 for no real outlay (one of our players wanted to switch to a Vodafone contract and they paid us £45). Easyfundraising say if you have 20 people using it reasonably regularly you can expect to make around £500 a year for your club. Further info below. Regards Matt AKA Frolicols HCUK ************************************************************* Taken from Easyfundraising's website: We provide a FREE service where you can shop with your favourite online stores and at no extra cost raise funds for any charity, good cause or group you choose to support. You still shop directly with each retailer as you would normally, but simply by using the links from our site first, each purchase you make will generate a cashback donation to the cause you wish to support. For example, spend £25 with WH Smith and 3.5% will be donated. You will have raised £0.88, at no extra cost to your purchase. Make any purchase from Amazon and 2.5% will be donated. Insure your car with Direct Line and raise £30.00, or purchase a mobile phone from O2 and earn £17.50, and so on. You can shop with 500+ Brand Name retailers and to raise funds you just use the links from our site first - it's that simple! If you ALREADY shop online, why not help good causes at no extra cost from purchases you would make anyway. __________________________________________________ BritDisc mailing list [email protected] http://www.fysh.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/britdisc Staying informed - http://www.ukultimate.com/staying-informed
