Red Nose Day

Posted by Ben Crook on 23 March 2017

Red Nose Day is all about making the world a better place. Its simple: raise more and have a great time! Why not host a bake sale, get involved in fancy dress or even host a quiz night? Use activities your family, friends and team enjoy to raise more for this incredible initiative. This year its on Friday 24^th March and its still not too late to get involved!

Red Nose Day occurs bi-annually and pulls in millions of pounds each time making it one of the biggest fundraising campaigns. This year Comic Relief chose to host their Best Ever Auction and prize draws on Givergy.com, which include some of the most incredible experiences: A trip to LA to meet James Corden, Breakfast with the leading actors in Doctor Who to Wandering around Tate Modern with Gillian Anderson, are all up for grabs. You don’t necessarily need deep pockets to support the campaign as they are hosting a number of prize draws which are just 5 to enter!

In addition to hosting the Best Auction Ever we also supported Ryman Stationary earlier this month in their quest to raise more for Comic Relief by providing silent auction technology at their Gala Ball.

The event welcomed 700 guests who enjoyed delicious food, entertainment and an auction hosted by the one and only Gary Barlow. The auction items up for grabs during the evening were very impressive: 2 tickets to see Take That, luxury spa breaks, VIP tickets to Manchester United and memorabilia such as a Usain Bolt montage display!

The total amount raised thorough the auction will be announced on Red Nose Day, please stay tuned!

Were so excited to play a part in Comic Reliefs fundraising journey! If you would like to find out more about how Givergy can help you raise more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
