FAQs
Do we have to take part on a set date?
No. Choose a day in November or December that suits your school, workplace or club. Pick one day or make it part of a festive event you already have planned.
Do we need to buy a jumper?
Not at all. Wear a Christmas jumper you already own, add some tinsel or antlers, or come up with your own festive outfit. It’s about joining in, not buying something new.
Is there a minimum amount we need to raise?
How do donations get to Marie Keating Foundation?
The easiest way is to share your group fundraising page so people can donate online. If you’d prefer to collect donations in person, use your organisation’s approved collection method and contact us if you need help with the next steps.
