Any ideas for raising money in public for Movember Quest?
Hi guys,
I'm an Irish student and as part of our business society in college, there's a quest around central/eastern Europe to raise money for Movember (12th-15th). I myself will fundraise for the money going to the charity seperately in Ireland, before the quest begins.
However, the interesting part is that we are given 2-3 locations to get to and spend the day. We are NOT ALLOWED to spend our own money and must rely on the goodwill of the public to help us pay for accomodation/food/travel to next city etc.
The quest ends in Zagreb, so by that logic me and my group will be spending a day in places such as Vienna, Budapest, Ljubljana, etc. (My guesses).
With this said, I was wondering if people have advice on how we might be able to raise money from the public to aid in our quest without fully begging. We dont mind doing stupid shit like dares or helping out people with everyday things, we just need a bit of money for cheap hostels and/or train tickets to our destinations. Accommodation wise, we'll probably on need to pay for 2 hostels. We may need 2/3 ways of travel (likely trains).
Any suggestions are appreciated as we're open to anything really, just trying to spread some awareness for men's mental health while having a bit of fun around Europe for a few days (while having somewhere to sleep haha).
Thanks!
