Do a Challenge
In 2019, we ran a highly successful #DesertVoiceboxChallenge where our supporters challenged themselves to complete a goal and raise money for Desert Voicebox.
Some of our challengers included:
Musician and actor Chris Guard, who wrote an entire album in 24 hours
Volunteer and trustee Beccy Allen, who learned Hassaniya, the Arabic dialect
spoken by the Saharawis
Carolina Graterol, filmmaker and trustee, who ran a marathon
Here are some steps to get started:
1. Choose your challenge
2. Set up your
JustGiving page here. Share your link with family, friends and
colleagues via email, group chats, and social media and ask them to sponsor you.
3. Take on your challenge! Share it on social media using
#DesertVoiceboxChallenge and tag us so we can celebrate with you!

If you are interested in fundraising for Sandblast, here are some ideas we hope can help you get started.
