Charity Sponsorship - Pay a small registration fee, but raise more so that Sands can cover the cost of your event place. Sands is an Associate partner so you get 25% off registration fee.
Mixed Funding - Pay more of a registration fee, but raise less of a sponsorship target so that Sands can cover the rest of the cost of your event place.
Own Place - Pay for your event place upfront, but you do not have a set minimum sponsorship target, you can raise what you want for Sands.
Charity Sponsorship and Mixed Fundraising will need to raise at least 50% of their minimum sponsorship target 4 weeks before the North Downs 50 Challenge to secure their entries.

The difference you will make..
Sands want to ensure that everyone affected by the loss of a baby gets the support they need and deserve when facing the toughest of time. We want to campaign for change and support research so that fewer babies die and so that fewer families experience the pain of losing a baby.
We all know someone who has lost a baby. So please join Team Sands and help us continue to be there for them.
