Fundraising Ideas
Simple Recipe for Fundraising Success
- One cupcake hostess
- One lovely venue
- Unlimited quantities of friends
- A plentiful supply of cupcakes – baked, bought or brought
- Tea and coffee on the boil
- Lots of fundraising ideas
- A large pinch of fun
Set a date, time and venue for your Cupcake Break and decide whether you want bake cupcakes for your guests, buy them, or bake cakes together. Download The Cupcake Break invitations and posters and use them to promote The Cupcake Break to your guests well in advance of your event. Order your cupcakes or check out our recipes and get your baking ingredients at the ready. Then get everyone together for a nibble and a giggle. Remember to share information about Ovarian Cancer Action to remind your guest why you’re taking part. Most of all though, you’ll raise more money if you make sure your guests have an absolutely fabulous time.
Flavouring your Cupcake Break
Just like your cupcakes, your fundraising can be as simple or OTT as you like. The only ingredients you really need are cupcakes, your friends & family and their wallets, but here are a few ideas to add to the mixture:
- Pimp my cupcake
Add a bit of your own personality to your Cupcake Break. Guests bring their own decorated cupcakes and everyone has to guess the chef from the design. You could charge a small forfeit for wrong guesses to add to your fundraising. - Chick Flick Cupcake
Why not share your cupcakes over a girly chick flick? If you sign up for a free trial at www.lovefilm.com/ovariancancer, LOVEFiLM will donate £20 to Ovarian Cancer Action – then you can sit back, relax and feel great about how much you’ve raised. You could even decorate your cupcakes in a film theme. - Kids Cupcake
Kids love to get messy, so why not make The Cupcake Break a family event or encourage your local school or parenting group to take part?
