Hello and welcome to this Charity Sports Event blog!

This blog has been created in order to demonstrate the role of sports events within the charity sector, their importance, and how charities can successfully run them. Furthermore this blog will explore the mind set of participants, what motivates them to join these charity sports events and what they get out of them.

My interest in this area peaked while I was interning for a regional charity that hosted many sports events during my time as a university student. I was particularly interested in what was making these sports events so popular and successful and how could this be worked upon.

My name is Danielle and as a final year student at the University of Lincoln studying Events Management I want to use this blog as a platform to showcase just how successful these sports events can be for charities and how they can be done right. With the number of charities around the world increasing making it an even more competitive market added with the lack of government funding and decrease in donations it has become especially important that charities get this are right not only to raise funds but also to raise awareness for their campaigns.
