Blackbaud plans It's a Knockout fundraising tournament
Howard Lake | 18 April 2008 | Blogs
Blackbaud is asking its business partners, clients, suppliers and staff to put forward teams to take part in an ‘It’s a Knockout’-style tournament later this year to help raise money for charity.
Organisers Simone Payne or Amy Garwell say “If you have ever watched the show, you’ll know what to expect from the day. For those that haven’t, bring a towel!”
Teams/individuals will need to pay an entrance fee and, to maintain that competitive element all proceeds from the event will be given to the winning team’s charity.
Some of the activities on the day will include white foam rafting, bungee rescue, gladiator jousting, and the sumo challenge.
For those who just want to come and support there will be a children’s area too, with face painting, ice cream van, bouncy castle and more.
If you are interested in getting involved either as an individual or part of a corporate team, contact Simone Payne or Amy Garwell on 0207 921 9600 by 22 April.
