Sparkle is a flexible, feel-good fundraiser you can make your own. Whether it’s a glittery coffee morning, a sparkle-themed dress-down day, a bright birthday celebration, or a community get-together, your event helps bring people together for something that truly matters.
There’s no fixed date and no pressure to do it a certain way. Add a little sparkle to a moment that means something to you — and help ensure no one faces a brain tumour diagnosis alone.
Katie Gingell has held Sparkly Family Discos in memory of her dad, Edward, who passed away in 2022, just three weeks after diagnosis.
“Dad was utterly brilliant and selfless until the end. By holding fundraisers, it feels like we are helping others who may go through the same devastating situation”
Katie and her family have raised over £2,000 while spreading joy in tribute to her dad.
We’ve gathered everything you need to make your Sparkle simple, joyful and impactful — all in one place.
However you choose to sparkle, you’ll be helping bring comfort, connection and specialist support to people affected by brain tumours.
