Sponsorship

All teams who entered the 2008 event are encouraged to raise as much money as possible this year for Romsey Mill and Red Balloon - Cambridge.

All sponsorship monies should be sent into the Chariots of Fire administration office by the end of October: Chariots of Fire, Shakespeare House, 42 Newmarket Road, Cambridge, CB5 8EP.

A prize will be awarded to the team who raises the most sponsorship this year and in previous years, amounts have totalled more than £9,000 per team!

There are many ways in which teams can get involved in raising sponsorship, such as:

• Ask your friends, work colleagues, schools, social clubs to support you (remember 50 people donating £2.00 each raises £100, multiply by 6 team members raises £600)

• Match sponsorship – will your employer match the amount you have raised? This is an effective way of doubling your sponsorship. Just imagine if many teams did this, then the overall amount raised would be greatly increased for the charity

• Make use of internal company publications and parish magazines etc to encourage people to sponsor you

• Pass the sponsorship forms around your team members, family and friends

• Fun events can be held both socially or at work with your colleagues in order to add to your sponsorship for the charity

• Sponsorship can be donated online also on the Just Giving website
