Bring out the entrepreneurs in your organisation and help save lives

Our exciting new fundraising challenge is designed to bring out the entrepreneurs in your organisation and offers your employees the chance to put their skills to the test, gain new business experience, raise money and ultimately help save lives.

What is Big Money Heroes?

Starting with a toy ambulance, can you raise enough money for a real one? We’ll send you the toy in your starter pack along with other bits to get the ball rolling. Perhaps you can trade it for something bigger or put it into a raffle? You see, we want you to tap into your entrepreneurialism. By all means sell fairy cakes, grow a 'tache or jump out of a plane dressed as a bear, but why not use the proceeds from cake sales to invest in another initiative? The trick is, never be afraid to ask. Be competitive, be determined, use your business acumen and be Big Money Heroes!

If your team is crowned Big Money Heroes champion, you’ll not only be able to bask in the warm glow of victory but see your company logo applied to a St John Ambulance vehicle. The logo will be proudly displayed for as long as the vehicle is on the road, highlighting your organisation’s generosity and concern for the local community.
