Vote for UK Fundraising to win and donate 365 hotel nights
Howard Lake | 20 July 2010 | News
UK Fundraising’s Howard Lake is taking part in an online vote by Radisson Blu to win 365 hotel nights which he will donate to charities to use as raffle prizes to raise funds.
Over 10,000 people from around the world have entered the ‘Win the Greatest Holiday in the World’ competition. All you have to do is give a reason why you deserve to win 365 hotel nights to use over the next five years. You then use whatever contacts and networks you have to encourage people to vote for you. The person with the most votes by 24 July 2010 gets the prize.
The current first placed entry is from Iceland and seemingly has secured national newspaper and TV coverage of their campaign, so they will take some beating.
Howard Lake has however jumped up the rankings, thanks to fundraisers around the world and other contacts, all of them keen to see this prize distributed amongst charities. Initially ranked lower than 10,000th, he is now ranked 361st, having jumped over 100 places already today.
Following advice from Barry Gower of Gift Aid specialists GAIN, it seems that the fundraising value of the donated hotel nights could probably be doubled using Gift Aid.
Anyone can vote, and you can vote once every 24 hours. You don’t need to register any personal details.
So, if you would like to support sharing this prize amongst UK charities, and let them see how much they can raise with them, vote for Howard Lake today, tomorrow, and the next few days.
