Accumulator Challenge
7 July – 22 July 2025
Has your business, school or organisation got the creativity and ingenuity to turn £50 into £100s or even £1,000s in the 2 weeks leading up to World Brain Day?!
Could your team win the:
- Top Total Trophy – the highest honour, earned by the team who have raised the most money
- Community Cup – favourite fundraising activity prize, as voted for by our encephalitis community
- Originality Oscar – awarded to the video or photo collage showcasing the most inventive/creative/entertaining activities
- Nobel Nod – presented by Encephalitis International CEO, Dr Ava Easton (no bribes will be accepted, sorry!)
How It Works:
- Up to 6 participants from a business, school or organisation form a team (awesome team name essential).
- Use a £50 Starter Fund to kickstart your fundraising activity.
- Teams have from 7-22 July to accumulate as much profit as possible.
- On World Brain Day (22 July) teams declare the totals they’ve raised.
- Prizes are issued and gloating rights retained for the rest of the year!
Team size: up to 6 participants
Multiple competitive teams from the same company/school are encouraged!
You can be as creative, silly or serious as you choose – as long as your fundraising is safe and legal.
The Competition:
The aim of the Accumulator Challenge is to have some fun whilst raising awareness and vital funds to support the encephalitis community. It’s a challenge that will suit anyone with a competitive nature and a bit of fundraising flair!
