Paintballing To Raise Money For Charity

There are quite a few ways you can raise money for charity whilst paintballing, some of these will make your day funnier and they are a great way to raise money. Fancy Dress One idea to raise money is to get sponsored to dress up in an item of fancy dress clothing or maybe as your favourite superhero. There are loads of different costumes available and you can even dress up as something related to the game zone you are playing in. For example if there is a zombie game zone then you and your team can dress up as zombies. This is a very fun way to raise money. Jokes Try and tell a joke every time you take out an opponent. Q: What do you call a pharaoh with a gun? A: Shootankamun. There are much better jokes around than that so do your research and see what’s out there. Make a list of your favourite jokes and use them. Capture The Red Nose If you are raising money for Red Nose Day then one idea might be to obtain a red nose and hide it somewhere on the playing field. You could give this to a marshal to do for you before the game starts. Whoever finds the red nose is the winner. Sponsored Silence This can be extremely difficult to carry out while Bogies Another great idea can be to shout out a word at random, usually “bogies” but you can make it a word that is relevant or related to paintball (“fire” or “duck” are some examples). Shout your chosen word out as loud as possible and try to get other people on the team to shout it louder. See who can shout the loudest on your team. Several paintball sites work with many charities across the country so they can come up with other fundraising ideas. Some sites even set up special charity events and these can bring in up to tens of thousands of pounds. If you are considering raising money for charity then contact the paintball site and ask about fundraising events. Other fundraising ideas can include raffles, prize draws, food and drink sales and much more. Image Sources : Image One - http://www.mayhem-paintball.co.uk Image Two - http://redpandanetwork.org
