In addition, for each photo of a different bake shared via Maltesers’ Facebook page or other social media platforms between 1 February and 24 March and tagged with **#bakeamillion**, Maltesers will donate £5. Mars will donate up to £1 million in this way. £5 per social share is an unusually high sum. Most donation-per-social-share campaigns tend to generate 50p or £1 per share. Red Nose Day takes place on Friday 24 March 2017. ![Maltesers #bakeamillion packet](https://wfay6x.infiniteuploads.cloud/2017/02/maltesers- bakeamillion-packet.jpg) ## Chocolate fundraising The #bakeamillion campaign might prove a tricky challenge for those who are taking part in [British Heart Foundation’s DECHOX](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/02/02/bhf-asks-people-to-give-up-chocolate-for-charity/) campaign, giving up chocolate throughout March. Alternatively it could be the perfect challenge – to bake a Maltesers cake and not lick their fingers. * **[Trombonists band together to raise funds for trombonist’s medical treatment](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/04/19/trombonists-band-together-raise-funds-trombonists-medical-treatment/)**( 19 April 2017) * **[Saying thank you… at the right time… is so important](https://fundraising.co.uk/2018/11/19/saying-thank-right-time-important/)**( 19 November 2018) * **[Crohns and Colitis UK benefits from Facebook holiday photo campaign](https://fundraising.co.uk/2014/07/10/crohns-colitis-uk-benefit-facebook-holiday-photo-campaign/)**( 10 July 2014) ![Loading](https://fundraising.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/page-views-count/ajax-loader- 2x.gif)
