Frimley & Camberley Lions Easter Eggstravaganza
Every year through our Easter Eggstravaganza we raise much needed funds for a very worthwhile cause - The Surrey Air Ambulance Fund. 100% of all the profits raised go directly to support the new air ambulance which provides a life saving service for the people of Surrey. No deductions are made for the administration of the event and all of our club members give their time voluntarily.
In order to raise the funds, we ask local pubs, clubs, bars, restaurants, health centres, shops and garages to simply put on show a large wrapped Easter Egg. Each egg which is supplied with a large A3 printed display board with 100 numbered boxes that contains names for the Lion that sists on top of the egg. Customers are then asked to choose the name of the Lion that they like and purchase that box for £1. A draw then takes place shortly after Easter where a number is picked randomly, with the holder of that number winning the egg.
We are pleased to say that due to the considerable efforts of all the outlets and those who purchased tickets, 2009 saw us raise an eggsellent (sorry -ed.) £1600,00. This contributed to a regional fund of £19,052.
The 2010 event is now taking place at a venue near you. We sincerley hope you can all take part and help raise funds for this very worthwile cause. If you would like to find out where your nearest venue is, please feel free to drop us an email via the 'Contact Us' page.
