Fundraise for the University of Birmingham Alumni, staff, students and friends who support the University of Birmingham form a very special community. Whether you are running a 10k, organising a bake sale or celebrating a special birthday - every bit of money donated goes directly to support groundbreaking research, support less advantaged students or help those most in need. Here are some ideas to help you get started: I want to Fundraise for Birmingham Get a group of your friends together and run the Birmingham Half Marathon/Great Run Invite friends and family to a quiz night, book club, swap shop or paper evening Connect with your old sports team mates and organise a tournament, fun-day or grudge match with your old team mates Fancy a challenge? You could cut off your hair, enter an ultra event or challenge your friends to go without something for a month and donate the proceeds. We love to share your stories and celebrate your fundraising successes - every penny makes a huge difference. Get in touch to tell us your fundraising stories.
