With my quiz night less that a week away, today has been set aside to approach local businesses to secure sponsorship, raffle prizes, and prizes for the winning quiz team.
Armed with posters, fundraising cards and big smiley faces, we have already been rewarded with support from 'Hair Studio' (Rubery) who have donated a £10 off voucher, 'Pet's Corner' (Rubery) who provided a bird feeder and peanuts, 'Hollywood Bowl' who donated tickets for four people to play, 'Empire Cinema' who donated two guest passes, 'Costcutter' (Rubery) who gave us two bottles of wine and 'Co-Op' (Rubery) who have given us a bottle of wine and a box of chocolates.
I know I've already said it, but it's worth saying again...people are very generous, not least because they can see the value of supporting Asthma UK. With one in eleven children, and one in twelve adults affected by asthma, and one person dying every seven hours from asthma, it is an area where funding for research is vital.
I've had more promises of raffle prizes, and I need to call back next week to collect them...I'll let you know how I get on!
