Skyline overseas events - fundraising adventures
ASBAH has signed up to the Skyline overseas events scheme to encourage fundraisers keen on more adventurous ways to collect cash.
Overseas challenge events are one of the most successful fundraising initiatives to have been introduced to the UK in recent years.
And in response to popular demand Skyline, a unique management events company, is increasing its exciting range of schemes.
In 2006 alone, more than 25,000 people took part in Skyline fundraising events, raising in excess of £4 million for over 1,500 charities.
Now people raising funds for ASBAH can sign up for an once-in-a-lifetime trek across China or Peru, or one of the many parachute jumps organised by Skyline in the UK.
The treks are suitable for people of all ages and all walks of life. Some people go with friends and family, but most don’t know anyone on the trip and take the opportunity to make new friends.
Participants do have to raise a minimum amount of sponsorship - £2,500 for the China Trek, for example – but Skyline do suggest a range of money-spinners to help make fundraising fun and easy.
China Trek
For a country with the largest population in the world, China remains largely untouched by the West. It is a beautiful country steeped in tradition, history and mythology.
The trek follows parts of the Great Wall of China where possible, up hill and into the valleys, enjoying the sight and sounds of the beautiful countryside.
Peru Trek
Walk through the untouched Lares region of Peru, over high mountain passes, green valleys, tranquil mountain lakes and enjoy breathtaking views of the snow-capped Andean mountains.
The unforgettable trek ends with a visit to Machu Picchu, one of the worlds most important archaeological finds.
