Whoever you are and whether you are at home or work; in school or college, you can help raise valuable
funds to support us in our efforts to protect and conserve endangered species in regions across the world.
Please contact us to discuss all kinds of ideas. In the meantime, here are a few suggestions: sponsored
swims or knitting sessions or hair cuts! Mountain or hill climbing, masked balls, dinner dances, karaoke
evenings, quiz nights or cake and sweet sales.
We also have several organised events, including fun runs and marathons as well as the opportunity to take
to the skies:

Hydro Active Women's Challenge - September 2008*
|
This is the country's premier 5k women's road running event with an estimated 30,000 women taking part in
Hyde Park, London, City Centre Birmingham and Sefton Park, Liverpool. This fun and friendly event is open
to women of all ages to run, jog, walk or even enjoy a gentle stroll, accompanied by buggies or pushchairs!
It's only £15.00 to enter, of which £5.00 is received by FOC, so you are already supporting us before you
start!
For additional details and event entry forms, please contact us on 0207 603 5024. You can also get further information

Skydiving |

Is Skydiving on your list of things that you would really like to do? Certainly those who have, feel
this to be one of life's most exhilarating experiences. Why not sign up and make that leap into the blue
for endangered wildlife? And of course, you can encourage your friends and family who prefer to keep
their feet on the ground to sponsor you and help raise even more.
For more details on the different types of jump available and the costs, including sponsorship requirements, go to:

2008 Flora London Marathon |
Andy Buswell, Leanne Davies, Martin Henderson, Tristan Reid and Hattie Thorne have all signed up to run in the 2008 London Marathon on behalf of Friends
of Conservation. We wish them all the very best in their endeavours. To sponsor our brave runners, please donate via our Just Giving page by clicking on
the logo below.
If you applied to run and didn't get in, or fancy the challenge for next year, then please contact the FOC office to see about getting a place in the 2009
Marathon. Barely a third of the 100,000+ people who apply to run in the London Marathon each year are successful in securing themselves a place. Friends of
Conservation however, have a number of guaranteed places and are always looking for enthusiatic people to fill them.

Going online |
To make fundraising easier, why not set up an online fundraising page? You'll find it quick and easy to do and you
can contact your friends, family and colleagues all over the world, leaving time for you to focus on preparing for
your event! And don't worry, we will always provide hard copy sponsorship forms as well. Simply click on the
Justgiving.com logo below to get started.
Please contact the office for more advice, fundraising suggestions and sponsorship forms. And whatever you may
