We need your help to raise money for the Big Salute.
How? It's as simple as:
1) Organise an event
2) Set up a Just Giving page under the Big Salute umbrella
3) Tell everyone you know about it (including us)
... we'll be covering Big Salute events year-round on BFBS TV and Radio.
Need inspiration? You're in the right place ...
We asked our office ideas monkey to come up with some ideas for fundraising. Our favourite was Big Salute Sports Day featuring:
Slug of War
Like a tug of war, but smear copious amounts of vaseline on the rope before you start.
The Boot Race
Equipment required: 3 people, 3 pairs boots, 2 shoelaces, 1 bucket of water.
Unlace the boots (regulation issue, preferably a very large size) and then fill with water. Use one bootlace to tie the right boot of the person on the right to the left boot of the middle person; and same again the other side. Now run like the wind… backwards.
Tea and biscuits
An obstacle race. Run to point A, where you will have to eat three cream crackers in less than 2 minutes. Then to point B. Here you find a mug of tea with a teabag on a string. Take the tab in your teeth and then flick your teabag over your head.
Cam-i-krazee
Take one large cam net, staked to the ground. Competitors have to crawl under it against the clock. But, on their backs, holding a large wet sponge in their teeth.
Other events: Blindfold Boxing; Piggyback Jousts; Clothes-swap Relay
