There is plenty of scope for more festive portmanteaus and puns to help make appeals feel fun and seasonal.
Here are some more suggestions. You’re welcome!
- Festiv-ale – A festive charity beer/wine tasting.
- Reindeerrace – A playful run or race event with a reindeer theme.
- Elf-thon – A charity marathon inspired by Santa’s helpers.
- ChristmaTHON – A longer, themed fundraising challenge.
- Jingle Jog – A fun run incorporating jingle bells or festive music.
- Givemas – A campaign name focusing on giving as part of Christmas.
- Carol-a-thon – A sponsored carol singing event.
- Snowball-thon – A sponsored “snowball fight” (virtually or in a safe setting).
- Reindeer Games – A set of competitive fundraising games.
And of course “Jingle” is very flexible, and ably used by the repeatedly successful Jingle Jam, which has raised £31 million since 2011.
