Are you getting together to cheer on Team GB’s amazing athletes this summer? The fun begins on Friday 26 July with the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony. Then the Paralympic Games picks up the baton on Wednesday 28 August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s the perfect opportunity to have fun with friends, family and colleagues and raise a few quid to support families raising disabled and seriously ill children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get involved<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re gathering to watch the games, why not be a good sport and use your event to generate a bit of cash for that extra feel-good factor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family Fund’s fundraising pack<\/a> contains everything you need to make a big difference, with fun ideas to get you started:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sell some snacks at your watch party<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use the collection box included in the Family Fund fundraising pack to ask your guests for a little donation in exchange for some snacks and drinks at your get together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a workplace sports screening social<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Cheer on TeamGB at work by organising a lunchtime screening social with colleagues and asking for a small donation to join in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organise a sports sweepstake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Get into the competitive spirit and see who triumphs when you challenge friends and family to predict the winners. Set a small entry price that works for everyone and donate it via our website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold a fun sports day<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your event can be accessible and suited to everyone’s ability, so no need to copy the professionals… Welly wanging and plate spinning should be Olympic sports anyway, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get your fundraising pack today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make your event extra special with one of our fundraising packs. From cupcake cases to bunting, you’ll get Family Fund branded supplies that’ll kick start your fundraising success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The collection box even includes a scannable QR code linking straight to our donate page, just in case nobody’s carrying cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n On your marks, get set, go! Order your fundraising pack\n <\/a>\n\n\n\n

We’d love to hear how you’re fundraising while cheering on Team GB – let us know what you’re up to. We’re also here to support with tips and practical help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n Get in touch with our fundraising team\n <\/a>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
