Boost your profile by supporting the KM Charity Challenge
There are a number of inexpensive ways you can raise the profile of your organisation through support of KM Charity Challenge events:
Sponsor an abseil rope and technical team supporting the event. Typically prices cost around £500. Your support will help ensure every penny raised by participants involved in the challenge will go to the nominated good causes as the costs for event are already paid for.
Sponsors will be involved in a high profile launch photocall in the KM Group newspaper or newspapers published in the community where the challenge event is being promoted to announce involvement and attract participants to sign up for the challenge.
Over the promotional run the sponsor's logo will appear regularly on the in-paper booking form that is published in the relevent KM Group newspaper titles. Participants must cut this form out and return it to the KM Charity Challenge to receive their event pack. As well as the Walking Bus, KM Group editors will select excellent local causes to receive funds from the sponsored challenge and are committed to promoting the event to ensure it is a success.
To further raise the profile of sponsors and reinforce the link with the challenge event, we recommend that organisations encourage one or more of their staff to take up the challenge, thus enabling the KM Group to publish a photograph of sponsor's staff wearing branded tops at the event as part of coverage from the day.
Sponsorship of sponsored zip wire, water walking or dragon boat events operates in the same way, but with technical costs being higher as many as six organisations may be brought in to cover the costs of the event. It is perfectly possible to be the sole sponsor of a challenge event.

Team building with the KM Charity Challenge
Why not use a challenge event as the basis of a team building exercise for your firm. Staff can be involved in teams each tasked with the jobs such as: promotion of challenge within the business or community; themed outfits for the event; trophy for the team or individual that raises the most for charity.
The KM Walking Bus Project would be delighted to stage a challenge event exclusively for an organisation with staff taking part for free and the firm paying the costs of the day, together with a donation to the Walking Bus charity.
