Inspiration for your fundraiser:

Occasions

Whether it’s Christmas, a birthday party, a wedding or a company event – a celebration with friends, colleagues or family is a great occasion to propose that instead of giving gifts, you can actively support the work of civilian sea rescuers.

Challenges

Cross the Alps by bike or run a half marathon for the first time! You can combine an athletic physical goal with a fundraising campaign and show that solidarity does not end at one’s own borders, but applies to everyone, regardless of origin or residence status!

For example, start a virtual fundraising run: set a date and a running goal for yourself and your running team (5km, 10km, or even a half-marathon), and challenge sports enthusiasts in your social circles. Then start your individual online fundraisers and join the run in your neighborhood. You can share your success afterwards, for example via a sports app or social media.

Online-Events

Whether it’s a festival, church service, benefit concert or a livestreamed political action – due to their unlimited reach, online events offer us good opportunities to draw attention to the inhumane situation at the external borders of Europe, while collecting donations at the same time. Feel free to contact us to discuss the possibilities of an online event together.
