Fundraising Event of the Year 2024

Dragon Boat Race

Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital Charity’s dragon boat race is a standout, cultivation event designed specifically to engage new corporate supporters from across the West Midlands in an inclusive team building event a whole organisation could get behind. 

The event had bold objectives: 

1. To deliver the biggest amount raised by the charity in a single event. 

2. To be cost neutral. 

3. To cultivate new relationships. 

4. To deliver a great experience. 

5. To make it the FOMO event of the region. 

The event hit capacity through word of mouth only, surpassed all financial targets, but more importantly established itself as the biggest corporate fundraising event in the West Midlands.
