Default Charity PR Stunts

we are a company trying to think of a fun charity stunt were we can be sponsored and give the proseedings to local charitys!

however we are trying to stay away from the usual 'fun run', 'sky dive', 'bungee jump' stuff and do something a bit different but still fun and entertaining that people can get involved in!

if anyone has any suggestions or thoughts on where i could get some insperation from please let me know!

thanks,

Jeni

Hi Jeni,

There's millions of things you could do, what are your hobbies? can you link it to one of these, for example, i do martial arts so a possible one for me could be a katathon where perform kata for a gazillion hours or something.

Or you could go down the ridiculous route, like when people sit in a bath of beans or something.

Andy.

well....we do alot of work with the local council and schools etc (we're a film and photography company by the way!) so would be good to do something that could involve the comunity!....but not at alot of cost to us!

i like the idea of using hobbies in what we do though!
