Ladies Night Fundraiser

Options
Hi Folks,

I wonder if anyone could give me a hand. Me & my boyfriend is doing the arctic challenge which involves sledging 200km over Norway in -30 degrees temperatures (yes we are sightly crazy!) in February. We set our target at £12,000 - ambitious but I managed to raise over £1000 in a week for a walk for the same charity!

So we are going to organise a ladies night in our local town. I was thinking raffle, maybe some ann summers stalls and body shop stuff etc. I have a friend coming to do nails and I'll hopefully get some other people on side for hair and mini makeovers etc! Was thinking about a professional photographer to - then sell them back the pictures after the event?

What I was really needing help with was I thought about maybe getting someone from The Only Way is Essex etc and have like £2.00 a kiss and a photo... but I have no idea where to hire a celeb from? I know for certain it will sell tickets and if it gets enough success then I can get another couple organised before we do the Norway challenge.

Any help/further ideas will be a massive help! Thanks folks :D

    I think you'd need to go through their agent, and I think this is the way to find who that would be:

  • Thanks Sue, I really appreciate your help, however this is one of the website's I've avoided as you need to pay a subscription fee...?

    hadn't appreciated that. There are other options when I google, or if you google a particular celebrity if you have one in mind, does nothing come up there?

    What about Twitter? I don't use it myself, but you might be able to find the celebrity of your choice on there and contact them directly...
