Amnesty’s First Annual Student RAISE-OFF is unveiled on 17 November at this year’s student conference in Manchester, and excitement and a healthy competitive spirit are already running rampant on campuses across the UK.This is the chance for your student group to prove that it can raise the most donations for Amnesty. Already have a rivalry with a neighbouring university? Challenge them to a raise-off and see who will excel! Between now and 14 March 2008 we’re asking you to be as creative and organise as many events as possible. Why not take the plunge and try a sponsored skydive, otherwise known as a jump-off? Or you can hold a cakesale, a film night, a concert, a sponsored silence, or a charity club night. The possibilities are endless, and you’ll be helping raise vital funds and awareness for Amnesty’s work.The reward? Besides the satisfaction of supporting Amnesty, and the recognition for out-competing your fellow student groups across the UK, there will be exciting prizes for the top individual and top group fundraisers presented in April 2008.

Don’t delay as time is of the essence! And best of luck!

We are really excited about this, so post your ideas!
