Celebrate for Maggie's

Celebrate your special occasion for Maggie's and help people who visit a Maggie's Centre have the best life possible with, through and beyond cancer.

Why not use your birthday, wedding, anniversary or special occasion to support Maggie's by asking for donations instead of gifts. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Wedding

Make your wedding truly memorable by donating to Maggie’s. 

• Ask the venue to give you a discount that you will donate to Maggie’s
• Use our wedding favour cards to display on your tables
• Sell spaces on your party playlist so your guests can get their favourite song 
• Auction off your flowers and table decorations
• Run a sweepstake on how long the speeches will last or who will catch the bouquet (you can use the website Guess2Give to place bets before the special day).
• For more ideas and help contact your local Maggie’s Community Fundraiser

Birthdays

Celebrate your birthday with family and friends and give to Maggie’s. 

• Personalise our invitation cards so you can send them to guests 
• Get your friends to join you in giving up their birthday gifts for a year - the more the merrier
• Set up a JustGiving or Virgin Money Giving page dedicated to your birthday 
• Sell your unwanted gifts on eBay and give the proceeds to Maggie’s 
• Hold a collection on the day 
• Have a fancy dress party charging entry and fine the boring people who don’t dress up
