An update on James' Kenya fundraiser
Below is the latest news from James', a local student we have sponsored with his trip to Kenya 2024.
Quiz Night fundraiser for Kenya 2024
As well as Morgan Payne & Knightley’s amazing sponsorship support for my Kenya 2024 volunteering expedition with Camps International, I am also organising lots of fundraising events.
On Friday 28th April, my best friend and I hosted a Quiz Night for family and friends. We hired a local village hall and spent Friday afternoon setting out the tables and chairs while our mums stocked up the bar!
Over 80 people bought tickets and came along. Jake and I wrote all the questions and tried to make it lots of fun with rounds like Hits-From-The-Movies, Guess-The-Jelly-Bean-Flavour, Emoji Landmarks and Celebrity-Picture-Round! Being Quiz Master was quite stressful but also really great fun – except for some of the really difficult pronunciations!
We also ran an amazing raffle with lots of fantastic, donated prizes including some Tanners Wines and Bannatyne Spa Vouchers! It was a resounding success and because of people’s generosity we raised even more than we’d hoped!
It was really encouraging to see our friends and family support us and have fun at the same time. I was proud to wear Morgan Payne & Knightley’s logo on my t-shirt, and to spend time explaining to people about their support and the trip.
It was a great evening and we were both was really grateful for everyone’s kindness in helping us raise funds for Kenya 2024, a 4-week expedition with Camps International to volunteer on community, environmental and wildlife development projects. I am hugely grateful to Morgan Payne and Knightly for their incredible support.
I am also doing lots of other fundraising activities – next up is a 2-day sponsored hike of the Shropshire Way!
