A lot of non-profit
organizations conduct #charity #events to generate funding for various
philanthropic causes. Sporting events in particular are pretty popular for
charitable causes since they are known to draw large numbers of people. This
includes marathons, swimming races, bike runs and even skydives. Charity events
like these motivate people to participate in these races. Participants would be
required to pay a small entry fee during registration. The fact that lots of
companies come together to promote their products during these #charity #events
allows the organizers to generate a substantial sum of money. With thousands of
people participating in the marathon, there is continuous buzz about the event
on various media outlets and this also creates an awareness about the cause for
which the event is being held in the first place. http://bit.ly/1lMfBCK
