Why is there a minimum sponsorship?
We rely on voluntary donations and sponsorship raised from events to continue our important work.
The events we put on are so important in raising vital awareness and are responsible for raising a substantial amount of the income we invest into beating ovarian cancer.
We must do much more than just cover the cost of the event, so we encourage our participants to aim to raise the minimum pledge – if you’d like some tips on how to raise £100, our friendly fundraising
team would be more than happy to help, just email
fundraising@targetovariancancer.org.uk
How do I set up my fundraising page?
Your fundraising page is automatically created for you once you have completed your online registration. You'll be able to view and customise your page using the log-in details you created – your log-in details will be sent to you via email, so don't forget to check your junk folder!
If you sign up offline, a page will be created for you and you'll be emailed a link to create a password.
Can I use paper sponsorship forms?
Yes, you can print our sponsorship form [PDF] or email fundraising@targetovariancancer.org.uk if you’d like us to send you some via post.
How do I pay in my sponsorship?
If you've received offline cash donations, calculate the total amount, add it to your bank account and then add it to your fundraising page (which is automatically created once you've completed your online registration) via the teal 'Add Offline Donation' button.
Or you can do one of the following:
1. donate online - ensure you select 'Fundraising / Paying in sponsorship' followed by 'General Donation’ and then add 'The Ovar-Dressed Walk|Run: London' in the comments box.
2. donate by post - send us a cheque made payable to ‘Target Ovarian Cancer’ to Target Ovarian Cancer, 30 Angel Gate, City Road, London, EC1V 2PT. Please write your full name and 'Ovar-Dressed London' at the back of each cheque.
3. direct bank transfer - call us on 020 7923 5474
Is there a sponsorship deadline?
We ask that all sponsorship is paid in by Monday 18 November 2024.
Do I have to dress up/wear fancy dress for this event?
It is entirely up to you as to whether you'd like to wear fancy dress, a small accessory or just your Target Ovarian Cancer supporter t-shirt (which you can of course decorate) - the choice is yours!
When will I receive my t-shirt?
Your t-shirt (or running vest if you've upgraded for £10) will be sent to you around a week before the event. If you sign up the week of the event, you will need to collect this on the day (dependent on t-shirt availability on the day.)
Will the route be accessible?
Yes, the route is fully accessible for wheelchairs.
Are there any toilets on the route?
Yes, there will be toilets at the start/finish area.
Am I able to run, instead of walk?
Yes, you are able to walk, run or race your way - 5k or 10k. Please be mindful that most people will be walking the route on the day and we are not chip timing this event.
If you have any more questions please email fundraising@targetovariancancer.org.uk or call us on 020 7923 5474 and we’ll be happy to help.
