Back Jack's new community fundraising packs
Our new Regional Fundraising Manager Jack Bacon has been hard at work bringing exciting and new fundraising ideas to fruition for Prostate UK. He has put together a number of new events taking place this summer in London, including a football-themed quiz, a slow cycle race and the 'hair raising' dog walk.
He has also developed fundraising packs that give you the tools to hold your own fundraising events. The first of ese packs, the Pint for Prostates pub quiz, was launched at the beginning of March at his own local, The Hideaway in Tuffnel Park. Jack said 'There was a great turnout for what was a fun filled evening where we raised £160 for Prostate UK and it was incredibly easy to organise.'

The quiz consisted of five rounds including a very difficult 'back to school' round which included tricky spelling and maths questions!
There was also a raffle with great prizes, kindly donated by Handstand Creative, Harper Collins Publishers and Domino Records.
Other fundraising packs available are the Mix it, Bake it, Raise it bakesale pack, the Paws in the Park sponsored dog walk pack and the Back of the Net football quiz pack.
