The Box Kart Bash is intended to be a family fun day for the benefit of local community. It is held before the summer holidays so that it gives families and individuals a project throughout the spring and longer days, and allows schools and other groups to work on their karts before the summer holidays.
The popularity and fun of the event means that it’s a great platform to raise money for good causes. This year we have a target of £20,000 – Remember it’s all done for charity. All of us involved in running it are volunteers.
We recommend a target of at least to £200 for each team that participates. If you have four people in your team, that is £50 each.
We believe this is easily achievable and expect most of you will raise much more for your nominated charity.
Start by creating a unique fundraising page at which you can send to everyone who wants to sponsor you. Just go to justgiving.com and click on ‘Start Fund Raising’.
Corporate/Business support
Find a kart sponsor – Get a company to sponsor your kart. Corporate entries can brand the kart, your uniforms, and your pit area with their corporate branding and be mentioned by the event commentator throughout the afternoon. They can also take advantage of other sponsorship opportunities for additional cost.
Entering a kart can also be a good team-building exercise.
