 Have you wondered if you
could make a tandem skydive for free? Well the answer is
that you can with our charity tandem skydiving package.
The deal is that 50% of
what you raise goes to cover the cost of the skydive.
Once you have covered the cost of the parachute jump,
anything extra you raise will be paid in full to the charity.
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Once you have decided you
want to book, send us a £75 per person deposit to secure your
place. The rest is payable on the day of your jump. A
maximum of 50% of the funds you raise can be used to pay
for your tandem charity skydiving experience. If there
is a shortfall, this must be covered by the person doing
the charity parachute jump.
Sponsorship forms can be downloaded from here:
The majority of our
customers choose their own charity which has some
personal interest to them. However, if you do not know
which charity you want to sponsor, take a look to the
left of this webpage and you will find a list of our
recommend tandem skydiving charities.

Tips For Collecting Sponsorship |
|
| |
For those of you who have
not participated in UK charity events before, we would
recommend that you read the following list of tips. They
will show you some of the more unusual ways to gather
funds.
 |
Some of our supporters comment that collecting
up the money is harder than taking part in the
event itself! To prevent this, try getting
people to give you cheques post-dated to shortly
after the event date (but no more than six
months), as soon as they have pledged to sponsor
you. |
|
|
Always carry a pen and sponsorship form with
you, even if you are not expecting to find a
person who might agreed to sponsor you. |
|
|
Give sponsorship forms to friends, family,
workplaces and get them out raising sponsor
money on your behalf. You can even ask them to
set a target to raise a set figure each. |
|
|
Ask
your employers to match your sponsorship pound
for pound, that way you raise twice the amount
and your employers can get some brilliant
publicity – get them to get in touch with the
press. We have worked with journalists and TV
crews on many occasions. |
|
|
Invite other people to come and do a parachute
jump with you. Having your small team jump with
you adds a lot to moral support and the impact
against your charity. |
|
|
Decide a definite date when you plan to jump.
People giving money to charity want to know when
the happy event will be and it shows them you
have actions behind your convictions. Book the
course before you start collecting. Booking
forms can be found
here. |
|
|
Get
your closest friends / manager to sponsor you
the highest amounts. This helps to set an
example as to the level of sponsorship you are
trying to attract. |
|
|
Understand the jump before you start collecting.
This helps to paint a picture to potential
sponsors of what you will actually achieve. You
can take a print out of our information web page
on Tandem parachuting. |
|
|
We
can send you one of our
promotional DVD and brochures to show what
you hope to achieve to the people who might
sponsor you. This has the potential to encourage
those who might turn you down. |
|
|
Contact your local press, using our PR tips.
People who know you or know of you may get in
touch and support you. If you need tips on how
to deal with them, we are happy to advise you.
Call us on 0113 250 5600 for more information. |
|
|
Do
you belong to any clubs or groups? Have a chat
with some of your fellow members and see what
ideas you can come up with together. |
|
|
Set
a personal sponsorship target to raise and tell
people how much you are aiming for. |
|
|
Visit the website of your chosen charity and get
some facts on who you are supporting. Present
the case of the charity to your prospective
sponsors with quotes such as ...
“ your money will
go towards xxxx ” |
|
|
Write to local companies asking for their
support – address letters to the Chairman or
Managing/ Marketing Director. Again, try to make
it humorous, it will stand out more. |
|
|
If
you are self-employed, your clients might
respond to a respectful letter asking them to
support you. |
|
|
Invest some money in a prize and hold a raffle/
competition at work and put the proceeds towards
your sponsorship amount.
|
|
|
|
| |
Is your charity skydive really
for free? |
|
| |
It may seem to you that
your charity tandem jump is for free. In fact, it is
being paid for by the people you approach for
sponsorship. It is important to recognise this when
requesting funds from them as the last thing they want
to perceive is that you are extracting money for your
own ends.
Therefore, let them know that by doing such a
challenging event, you are raising a far higher total
for the charity than by doing an event such as a
sponsored run or cycle ride.
