2010 Sonic Relief Fund Drive Begins
The Sonic Stadium has started its two month long fundraising drive for UK based Sport Relief, dubbed Sonic Relief.
The official kickoff was Sunday evening, and the drive will run through March 21st, the end of Sport Relief Weekend.
This year, there are two ways to contribute: Through outright donating, and through submitting your work toward the cause. This year, organizers MK Skillz and Shadtzer are asking for a £1 donation with any work you submit–that’s about $1.63 in dollars, and about €1.13 Euros. Those who donate with their submissions will be entered into a contest for prizes.
A full explanation of how this will work follows:
The basic premise of the campaign is still the same as last year – do something Sonic for money! Whether you want to draw a picture, sing a song, make a video… literally ANYTHING… then we want to see it! The possibilities are endless!This year’s theme is “something sporty” to coincide with the charity we are raising money for, but that’s not to say you can’t make it humorous too – as long as your submissions still have some relevance to Sport Relief.
There is one fundamental change to this year though – due to the good ol’ recession, Shadzter and myself won’t be able to do what we did last year whereby a certain amount of money was donated for every submission. Instead, this time we ask if the people submitting could make a small donation along with their submission (only £1 or so will do!). It may seem a bit cheeky, but it’s for a good cause – and there’s something in it for you, too! Each paid submission will be entered into the contest for Best Sonic Relief Submission 2010, and our favourite will win a prize!
*It should be noted that donations are not compulsory, but you will not be entered into the contest if you do not donate*
If you wish to outright donate, you may do so at the Sonic Relief JustGiving page. More information on Sonic Relief–and how you can contribute–can be found here.
