Organising Events

Many of our Friends raise money for Beechwood Cancer Care Centre by organising a variety of events. We always actively promote them and offer our assistance in producing tickets and advertising materials particularly posters. We will always include events in out Beechwood News.

Just to stimulate the old brain cells here are some of the fundraising that have proved successful in the past as well as a few new ideas.
