The charity won for its [Santa Fun Run](https://www.pah.org.uk/santafunrun/). The campaign was praised for its artwork, and for the way it created a sense of community around the event. It also featured live updates with [Princess Alice Hospice](https://www.pah.org.uk/) integrating parts of JustGiving on its dedicated [Santa Fun Run microsite](https://www.pah.org.uk/santafunrun/fundraising/) by adding in widgets such as the fundraising total/target bar, and the JustGiving leaderboard.  ## Advertisement A number of the 1,300 or so runners used [JustGiving](https://www.justgiving.com/) to handle their sponsorship, with 1,464 supporters pledging money via the page. The top fundraiser was pledged £2815, while one runner raised nearly 20 times their original target. Overall, the JustGiving pages helped raise £38,993 towards the overall target of £60,000, with other runners giving via direct donations and their own sponsorship arrangements. Hospice Marketing Officer Cengiz Mehmet (pictured), who led on the Santa Fun Run campaign, said: > ”I think the real power of the campaign came alive when people on their fundraising > pages talked about why they were taking part in the fun run and who they were > running in memory of; it created a sense of community around the run. “We also > used the JustGiving campaign page on social media and email, to encourage people > to continue fundraising during and after the campaign.” Keith Williams, General Manager, UK & Ireland at JustGiving, said: > “We were impressed by their ability to foster a sense of community amongst the > supporters and participants of the Santa Run, and the stunning campaign imagery > used to showcase and celebrate their cause.” Mehmet will next be creating the landing page for the Hospice’s Pyjama Day – PJ Push – the upcoming fundraising event to support the hospice’s Care Through The Night campaign. * **[JustGiving to be exclusive fundraising partner for 2020 Brighton Marathon Weekend](https://fundraising.co.uk/2019/04/17/justgiving-to-be-exclusive-fundraising-partner-for-2020-brighton-marathon-weekend/)**( 17 April 2019) * **[Princess Alice Hospice wins JustGiving Christmas Campaign award](https://fundraising.co.uk/2020/01/14/princess-alice-hospice-wins-justgiving-christmas-campaign-award/)**( 14 January 2020) * **[Nominate outstanding fundraisers for the JustGiving Awards 2022](https://fundraising.co.uk/2022/05/13/nominate-outstanding-fundraisers-for-the-justgiving-awards-2022/)**( 13 May 2022) ![Loading](https://fundraising.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/page-views-count/ajax-loader- 2x.gif)
