Raise vital funds and have FUN!

Organising a fundraising event is a great way to get your colleagues, family and friends involved while having fun and spreading awareness of prostate cancer. It doesn't have to be time-consuming or hard to arrange. Here are some simple ways to get involved:

‘Blue for the Boys’ Day

Blue is beautiful, blue is bestHold a ‘Blue for the Boys’ party or dress down day at your workplace/ sports club/ school/ coffee group. Ask friends and colleagues to pay £2 to wear something blue for the day. How about creating a blue menu, or putting on a blues music night? You could also sell blue man pin badges and give prizes away for the most imaginative outfit. It's a simple way for everyone to get involved and show their support.


Real Man Quiz

Test yourselfOrganise a quiz during lunchtime at your work/ school/ club or a quiz night at your local pub. We can provide general knowledge and prostate-related questions to help get you started. Raise funds by charging a team entry fee or ask for donations from participants. Run a raffle along with the event, sourcing blue products as prizes.



The Real Man Cup

FootballWe are holding a 5-a-side football tournament (The Real Man Cup) at a Powerleague centre in London on Saturday 10th March 2007. We aim to recruit between 50 - 80 corporate and community teams. There are a number of other activities planned for the day, including a BBQ, raffle, crossbar challenge, football merchandise auction and Xbox gaming.
