Celebrate the 2024 Paris Olympics with a Children’s Heart Surgery Fund fundraiser! 🇫🇷🏅
Go for gold and organise an Office Olympics at work or host a sweepstake with colleagues, family and friends!
Olympics Sweepstake
Cut out the events that will be featured in this year’s Olympic Games and get participants to randomly draw them from a hat. The participant whose event claims the most Team GB medals wins the prize.
Office Olympics
From ‘Bin Basketball’ and ‘Rubberband Archery’ to ‘Mental Gymnastics’ we’ve thought of it all. You could dedicate a day to go full steam ahead with celebrations or hold one event at the end of each work day or week.
Olympics Bunting
Print your own Olympics Bunting. Lots of retailers will be selling union flags and olympics decorations, but maybe you’d like to make your own to celebrate our awesome Team GB and CHSF!
Need any help or got another idea for fundraising? Contact the team any time at corporate@chsf.org.uk!
