It’s easy to get involved in Balls! to male cancer. Firstly, decide whether you want to organise an event or get sponsored for a ball related activity. For extra support and to make your fundraising as fun and successful as possible you may want to ask your colleagues, local school or community groups and friends and family to get involved.

Sponsored events are great if you have a personal goal and would like friends and family to support you. You would need to order our sponsor forms below or you can quickly set up an online page on www.justgiving.com/cancerbackup

Holding an event can be good fun and involve your friends at the same time. You can either ‘charge’ an attendance fee or have lots of goodies to raffle off or sell.
