2011 Fundraising Events so far

So far in 2011, we have run 2 fundraising events, kicking off with our annual Treasure Hunt organised by David and Vanessa (my mum and dad).

This years treasure hunt took place in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, where 15 teams turned up to take on cryptic clues, scavenger hunting and photo finding, ending at the Ship pub. Each team donated £20 to the trust to take part and many helped by buying raffle tickets and pizza's at the pub, who kindly donated £2 per pizza to our cause. This family day managed to raise us £500 towards our target and really started off the year with a bang!

At the Marlow Regatta, 11-12th June 2011, we ran our locally famous "throw-a-lightbulb" game and a Silent Auction with prizes donated by:

• Shakeaway
• Choco-Latte, Marlow
• Legoland
• Ministry of Paintball
• The Waterside Inn, Bray
• Midwich
• The Vanilla Pod, Marlow
• Grove Riding School, Wycombe
• The Marlow Brewery
• Gear4

Together this managed to raise £400 towards our £4000 target, despite the rain on the Sunday which meant the turn out wasn't good! Thanks to all of you who bid for items and played our game!

This weekend, 18th June, we will be running another Silent Auction and "throw-a-lightbulb" game at the Winnersh Fete, Bearwood Recreational Ground, Winnersh. This will include prizes donated by:

• John Nike Leisure Centre, Bracknell
• Mars
• Ministry Of Paintball
• Billingbear Park Golf Course
• Legoland
• Shakeaway

Fingers crossed the weather holds out and we can raise another few hundred towards the total.
