Star Quiz Follow these simple steps to organise a Star Quiz that will be sure to help you smash your fundraising target! • First of all, think about who will come to the event. Colleagues, friends or family? What age are they, where are they based? • Next think about timing, what day of the week, and time of day will suit them? Is a week night or weekend better? • Think about your venue too. Will your guests bring children? If so an earlier time, and family friendly venue will be best. You could use a pub, community centre, local café or your front room! • How much will you charge? Be sure to cover your costs and raise money, but don’t make it so expensive that people wont come. • Advertise your quiz well, using email and posters in communal areas and at the venue. • In preparation for the big night print out enough copies of the questions for everyone taking part - but remember, don’t include the answers! • Make sure you have plenty of help on the night; you will need someone to take money at the door and sell raffle tickets, and someone to ask the questions! • Source some prizes that you can raffle on the night, to help you raise as much as you can from your event. • And finally, don’t forget to have fun! www.sueryder.org/starlighthike Sue Ryder is a charity registered in England and Wales (1052076) and in Scotland (SC039578).
