Organise a fundraising event
There are many ways that you can help us raise funds by organising your own event.
These might include a:
- dance or ball
- dinner
- sponsored event e.g. dog walk, fun run etc
- race night
- bingo event
- raffle
The Animal Cancer Trust will support and help you in whatever way they can e.g. provide literature, logo etc. We would, however, be unable to undertake the day to day event planning since we have very limited resources! Organisers need to let us know what type of event they plan, the date of the event and what, if any, support they might like.
Our online fundraising service providers, Justgiving, will be able to take online donations by credit or debit card through a Personal Fundraising Page that can be created for individual events. Justgiving will also offer all donors who are UK taxpayers the option of making donations in a manner that makes them eligible for Gift Aid reclaims.

Some guidelines for organising a sponsored dog walk are provided here.
Take the Lead sponsored dog walks -
4th/5th October 2008
Nationwide sponsored dog walks - 'Take the Lead' and step out for the Trust
We are currently planning the walks to be held over the weekend of 4th and 5th October. Already there are walks planned for the New Forest, East Sussex, Nottinghamshire and Cheshire with more in the pipeline! The venues together with the organisers and contact information will be provided here very soon. We are delighted that Royal Canin will once again be supporting the event and will be giving away dog leads to everyone raising more than £5.
Reports from the walks held in 2007
New Forest: Anderwood Barbecue Site, Nr Burley Saturday 6th October
This walk was really well supported by owners and their dogs from far and wide - London, Kent, Dorset, Wiltshire and Hampshire! The Forest looked wonderful with the leaves just starting to turn and the weather was just perfect. And what an array of dogs - all sizes and ages. The Leonberger Club turned out in force some pulling carts and made a great spectacle. There was a large family of Cocker spaniels - Mum and 7 offspring! Well done the Forest Lodge Veterinary Practice that turned out in force! Naomi Baggaley and her team had organised a lovely day which was rounded off with a delicious barbecue that was enjoyed by everyone basking in the October sunshine.
To date the amount raised from this walk is £3,543 with more on its way - a fantastic effort! The winner of the prize for the most amount of money raised is Sarah Campbell-Dicker from London who owns Alannah, a lovely Cocker spaniel - well done Sarah and Alannah!

Brighton: Stanmer Park, Nr Brighton BN1 9SE Sunday 7th October
Another very enjoyable day although the sun was much slower to make its appearance here. Once again our walkers came from quite a distance - London, Surrey, East and West Sussex. This was a great place to walk - a beautiful park with open spaces and woodland. The tea room was very popular following the walk! Thanks are due to Cathy Sutherland and her team for organising such an enjoyable day. There were lots of smiling (and pink!) faces at the end of the walk.
To date the amount raised here is £1,284 with lots more on its way! The winner of the prize for the most money raised is Joy DelaCourt from Peacehaven. Joy owns a rescue dog from Spain, Pepa - well done to the pair!

Cambridge: Milton Country Park, Cambridge Road, Milton, Cambridge CB24 6AZ Sunday 7th October
For some reason the walkers in Cambridge were slow to turn out even though it was a glorious day. Perhaps it was due to a clash with the big race meeting at Newmarket. Chrissy Walker and her helpers did a great job in organising the event - next year will definitely be bigger and better!
The amount raised to date is £280 with more on its way. The winner of the prize for the most money raised is Kelly Wells from Littleport near Ely - thank you and well done!
Glamorgan: Dinas Powys Sunday 7th October
This was a small walk organised by Chris and Angela Reardon for their friends and dogs. Once again it was a glorious day and they had a lovely walk in remembrance of Angela's dear little Cocker Spaniel, Harvey, who very sadly died from cancer when only 2 years. What a fitting tribute to Harvey.
The small band of owners raised just under £400 - well done!
