Fundraising Tips

Here you can find some pre match and on the day fundraising tips for your club.

Before the match

• Hold a trivia or pasta night
• Have an auction
• Ask your workplace to match every dollar you raise
• Place donation boxes at local businesses
• Take advantage of the Foxtel offer
• Brainstorm your own unique fundraising ideas with club members so everyone's involved

You can also raise money online with your personal fundraising page on the Call To Arms website, where your contributions are tallied for everyone to see.

Match Day

As well as asking supporters to donate to Cancer Council, it's also great to involve them on match day. Some ideas for involving supporters include:

1. Having your players form a guard of honour, and inviting cancer survivors or people who have cared for men during a cancer experience to walk through.

2. Asking all supporters who have been touched by cancer to stand and be honoured with a minute's silence.

3. Asking a local cancer survivor to toss the coin for the start of the game.

4. Asking a local cancer survivor to make a short pre-game speech about what Call To Arms means to them and why it's important to support Call To Arms.

5. Ask supporters to give themselves a round of applause for supporting Call To Arms.

If your club has a loud speaker then it's a great way to promote the event both before the game and at the half-time break. Check out our suggested announcements below.

Today's match is going to be a little different. Today <YOUR CLUB> is playing a Call To Arms match to raise funds for blokes with cancer. 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer before they turn 85.

So folks, we need your help. Please dig deep and donate whatever you can afford today - by helping fund the Cancer Council's great work we are helping fight cancer.

Thanks to everyone who has made a contribution to the <YOUR CLUB> Call To Arms match. If you haven't had a chance to help out, we're still collecting contributions at <LOCATION WHERE MONEY IS BEING COLLECTED>, and you can get a tax-deductible receipt as well.

So folks, let's help fight cancer. With 1 in 2 Aussie blokes getting cancer, we don't know who it could be next, so dig deep and help the Cancer Council continue its great work.
