The Big Sports Day 2010

Raise heart rates, raise awareness and raise funds this Sports Day and help improve the lives of two million people living with cancer in the UK.

Simply hold your sports day as usual and incorporate a fundraising challenge for Macmillan Cancer Support. This year, why not spring into action and incorporate a star-jumping challenge? Pupils could collect sponsorship or pay a suggested donation to take part. Whether it's the whole class, the whole year group or the whole school that gets involved, there's something for everyone.

Support for our latest event

'Macmillan's Big Sports Day is a fantastic opportunity for budding young athletes to get involved in sport, while raising vital funds for people living with cancer in the UK.'
