Story

This is the first time I've used Just Giving, which means I've never spammed anyone with this sort of request before - that's not to say I haven't done an incredible amount for charities, sick people, orphans, animals, the infirm and rare breeds of moth in the past, I've just chosen to do it under the radar, like Keith from Boyzone.  

So please give generously - as is mentioned on the main page, there are a variety of donation opportunities, which mean you don't just give, you get stuff back as well. Here are the options again - 

£1

 That gets you nothing, apart from the sense of personal achievement that comes from being involved (in a very very very small way).

£10

We'll give you a personal shout out to our 2,700+ Facebook fan page. Remember, we're 3 x BAFTA nominated, and we have fans in over 170 countries so that kind of exposure is sure to raise your profile amongst work friends or even perfect strangers.

£25

Not only do you get the above shout out on Facebook, we'll also halo your donation on our Twitter. That's nearly 1000 extra people ready to bask in the glow of your dizzying generosity.  

£50

From here on there's the Facebook shout out, plus for £50 we'll use our graphic design skillz to knock out a special commemorative photo featuring your name that will again feature on both our Facebook page and on Twitter. Imagine the sort of crap they pedalled when Diana died but even better.

£100

Every incredible performance is followed by a tear drenched acceptance speech and our 21 mile oddyssey is no different. 100 smackers gives you, yes YOU the chance to be immortalised forever in our long, and painfully drawn out Bigballs thankyou speech.

£250

You want something good right. Well how about a personalised thankyou message from a member of the team? Want ex-boyband member Luke to sing you a little ditty? Or Lawrence to do his infamous 'stripper dance'? Or howabout resident white wizard Gav gives you a reading that predicts your future? We're a company of many talents... it's time we put some of them to use. 

£500

Found a ridiculous amount of loose change down the back of the sofa? Unsure of whether to get the limited edition Diamante dog collar or cat bowl? Just can't decide which high class prostitute to spend the weekend with? Fret no more - we've got the cure for your cash. ladies and gentlemen - for £500 you get all of the above, PLUS we rename the boat in your honour. As you can see from the picture to the left, the chance for personal aggrandisement and ego-tripping is huge. Imagine your (or a loved one's) name sat proud over Deborah. Imagine it. Glorious doesn't even begin the cover it.

£1000

Ok - you've got our attention now, it's time to break open the big guns. For £1000 Bigballs will make you a film. That's right, a film. How about we shoot your wedding video? Or maybe you want a special birthday music promo? We'll even bring some Bigballs magic to a funeral of your choosing. Whatever you want (*terms apply) we'll shoot it. So go on, dig deep.
