A sponsored swim, run or cycle never fails to capture the imagination of everyone around you which spurs you on to do as well as you can. You can also do this as part of a group, to get your family and friends involved too. So whether it is a local fun run, a marathon, cycling across the country, or a triathlon, consider doing it on behalf of the Oral Health Foundation. What you need Download an Oral Health Foundation sponsorship form. Head over to our shop and get hold of one of our running vests. A camera or smartphone and a social media account (Twitter or Facebook). Steps to organise your sponsored event Decide what you want to do, it could be something you do every week or a lifelong ambition, we can even help find an event for you if you are having trouble finding one to suit you. Tell us about your event though our 'Create a fundraising event' page so we can help maximise your sponsorship and achieve your goal. It works just like any other fundraising site that you may have come across in the past. It will tell people all about what your doing and there's a form they can fill out to donate. Event time; get someone to take lots of pictures which you can share online or send to us so we can share with our fundraising community.
