The summer will be filled with football – and we’re inviting you to fundraise at the same time with our sweepstake pack.

It’s the ultimate ‘armchair fundraising’ – no swims, hikes or marathons…just pay your stake, draw your team at random (no – you can’t choose!) and see how they get on in the tournament.

Play with friends, family or work.

All you need to do is:

1: Agree an entry fee – how much it’ll cost to join in…the higher the stake, the more you’ll raise and could win! There are 48 countries, so if each is sold for £10, that’s £480 raised before your prize is deducted.

2: Decide what the prize will be for the winner – 25%, 50%?
If you’re selling teams for £10 each, then a 25% prize will be £120 and a 50% prize will be £240. It’s up to you how much you sell your teams for and what your prize is.

3: Collect your pledges – we suggest getting your sweepstakes paid before the tournament kicks off.

4: Draw the countries out of the hat for everyone who is playing – and let them know who they’re cheering on to win the sweepstake! Record them on the sweepstake sheet in your free pack.

5: Watch the football! The person with the country who wins the tournament is the winner – and will win the prize agreed at the start.

6: Donate the remainder to us, via Big Give. We’d usually ask for your donation to be made directly to us, but if you donate via Big Give from June 22-29 (remembering to keep back your prize money), your donation will be doubled!

The first game is June 11th, then the final is July 19th – when your winner will be waiting for their prize!

You’ll find all you need in the pack including:

• A ticket for each country to cut out and draw from a hat

• Space to record pledges and prize info

• A table to record each entrant’s selected country
