Sponsorship opportunities
We are very grateful to our Sponsors, whose support allows us to throw the Sunflower Ball every other year. It takes many hours of planning and preparation from the Charity Trustees and Steering Committee to run the Ball (which is all voluntary), and many thousands of pounds to deliver the event on the evening. We simply couldn’t do it without the support of local businesses.
There are various ways for local businesses to be part of the Sunflower Ball 2024, starting at just £395. All bring excellent local exposure, benefits and promotion. Please view all Sponsorship Opportunities in this link.
100 Challenge
The 100 miles that Tash and Caz ran between Leeds and the Lake district to kick start the fundraising for Bags for Strife was not only significant in the effect it had on their calves but also in it’s poignancy to the statistics surrounding suicide.
In 2019, one in every 100 deaths was by suicide. The ripples of grief which emanate outwards when a loved one is lost to suicide are far reaching and, in our experience, can often feel like and endless succession of tsunamis for those closest. The impact of these life altering moments are felt by so many people.
In the hope of supporting the people left behind, letting them know that they are not alone in their grief, and remembering our loved ones who are so much more than mere statistics, we launched the “100 Challenge”.
The challenge is simple - do something, anything, 100 times over, and ask people to sponsor you whilst raising awareness for those who have been bereaved by suicide.
Fundraise with us!
If you want to take part in a fundraising challenge for BAGS for Strife, drop us an email.
All the money that we raise goes directly towards fulfilling the contents of the Bags and their distribution to bereaved families. We are a purely not for profit organisation led by a team of willing, enthusiastic and brilliant volunteers
