Fundraising and Events

Join Team Cure4DM and take on a new challenge!

Find an event / fundraiser or organise one yourself that is right for you, whether it's a run, cycle or bake sale, there are plenty of ways to fundraise to choose from. Your fundraising enables us to support more dogs and their owners affected by Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), raise awareness about the disease and most importantly fund research into finding those treatments or a cure, where ever that may be. We rely on regular donations, fundraising and gifts in wills to keep us able to do this.

With Friends and Family 

  • Host a charity event: from a black tie ball to a gaming night or anything in between.

  • How about a quiz? Here are some Quiz Questions & Answers to get you off to a start

  • Host an afternoon tea at home and ask for donations: either bake your own scones or fake it and buy some from the shops.

  • Turn your craft hobby into a charity sale. If you have green fingers you could sell bulbs or plants.

  • Spring clean and sell your unwanted items at a car boot sale or put them up on eBay.

  • Invite friends and family round for a dinner party. You could even make it a themed night with the menu being dishes from somewhere around the world.

  • If you want to work on your fitness without the pressure of a mass event you could do 10 mins of skipping or 100 squats a day, or commit to a quick run a day.

  

Fundraise at work 

  • Sweepstake. Is there a big event coming up? Choose anything from the Cheltenham races to Eurovision, charge for entry and give the winner and Cure4DM half the prize money each. 

​

  • Bake Sale. These are always popular at work! No-one can resist a cake or sweet treat especially when it’s helping to raise money. You can even email us for some DIY cake flags: fundraising@cure4dm.org

​

  • Share your skills. If you have a skill like knitting or if you’re a yoga instructor teach your colleagues during the lunch hour and ask them for a donation to join in the fun.

Find an event near to you

Check out your local area to find out about local events taking place in the coming months. Is there a local Boot Fair taking place locally?, or an organised run in the park or half marathon close by.  Local fetes are often great places to set up a stand for little cost, where you can fundraise with items of bric-a-brac and competitions such as guess the number of dog biscuits in the jar. We can supply you with DM Information leaflets to give out and help with promoting your fundraising.
