give in celebration
Raise money celebrating a special occasion.
Dedicate your birthday, wedding or other special occasion to AFC Wimbledon Foundation, or mark a milestone in your life.
All you need to do is set up a special celebration fundraising page or Facebook Fundraiser. It only takes a few minutes. Then, share it on all your social media channels and email your friends and family asking for donations. The donations come straight to us and you can make your page really special by adding photos and your story.
Top tips for raising more before the big day
Kick off your fundraising page by adding the first donation yourself.
If guests can’t make it to your wedding or birthday, ask them to donate instead. Making a donation is the perfect way to say congratulations if they can’t say it in person.
Note on your invitations that the AFC Wimbledon Foundation is your chosen charity, why, and that you would welcome donations. Some supporters ask for donations instead of gifts.
Set a target on your online fundraising page and you could raise up to 46% more. If you hit your target early, increase it!
Ask people to add Gift Aid by mentioning the benefits of doing so on your page description.
Get in touch with your manager or HR team to see if your employer offers ‘Matched Giving’. It’s an easy way to double your fundraising as your employer will agree to match the amount you raise.
And finally, don’t be afraid to tell everyone you know about your fundraising. Add your story and photos to your fundraising page, then share on your social media channels, on Whatsapp and by email!
