How To Take Part:
We've put together this easy guide to help you get the most out of your Santa Dash for Beloved Rabbits.

Registration Cost: £ 10.00
Things Needed ?
- Registration with SkyeEvents
- Just Giving and/or Offline Sponsor Forms
Event Details:

Entry Fee (payable to SkyeEvents): Fees vary £3 - £30
Taking Part:
Step 1 : Register To Take Part
You need to register to take part in the Santa Dash.
Registration is now open.
Step 2 :Setup Your Fundraising Page on Just Giving
Now its time to get sponsorship for your participation. This is the part where you can raise money for Beloved Rabbits!
The easiest way to do this is to setup a Just Giving page. Just Giving is the biggest and best known crowd funding platform - they will do all the hard work for you.
Step 3 : Download Our Offline Sponsorship Form
Not everyone will want to sponsor you through our Just Giving page.
And its often easier to encourage folk to sponsor you face-to-face than it is through social media and email - its harder for them to say no.
Download our Offline Sponsorship form and capture more sponsors between now and the big dash.
Step 4 : Get Sponsored!
Now its time to share your Just Giving page as far and wide as you can.
Ask you friends, family, colleagues, doctor, postman.....the man that occasionally walks his dog on your street. The more people you ask to sponsor you, the more money you raise, and the more rabbits we can care for!
Step 5 : Sort Out Your Outfit!
Event organisers are offering the opportunity to purchase Santa Suits when you register.
You are free to wear your own Santa Costume / Outfit, but you must wear the correct allocated race number during the event. Why not dress as a Christmas Bunny?!?
We have created our own selection of Beloved Rabbits Santa Dash merchandise you may prefer to choose - Hoodies, Sweatshirts and T-Shirts available to purchase from our Drop-Shipping Partner directly on our website today. Proceeds will go towards the rabbits in our care.
Step 6: Do The Dash!
Don't forget to actually show up on the day and take part.
Its an atmosphere like no other, and is great fun to be a part of.
Step 7: Collect Any Offline Donations and Donate Them To Us
Just Giving will deal with all your online donations and ensure these are passed on to Beloved Rabbits for you, including handling any Gift Aid claims.
But don't forget you will need to manage any offline donations.
Collect all the funds and send the donations to us at the address below, or donate the funds via our website.
Don't forget to send us the offline forms too so we can process any gift aid claims there too.
