Rally Fundraising
Let’s make every mile count
The Rally might finish in Paris, but the impact we’re aiming to make goes much further.
This year’s Gamma Ball Rally is raising money for Action Through Enterprise (ATE) and SpecialEffect, and every team has a part to play.
We’ve set up the Gamma Ball Rally 2026 event on GiveWheel so you can create your own fundraising page, join the main event and start sharing it with colleagues, friends, family and customers.
Already set up? Keep sharing your page and building momentum before we hit the road.
Not joined yet? Now’s the time.
- Click on the ‘See event page’ button and set up your team page.
- Please download our social card here and personalise with your company logo (position in the space to the right of the charity logos) and your unique GiveWheel team QR code (can be found via the ‘share’ button once you have set up your page).
Let’s see how much we can raise together.
Gamma Bally Rally - Actions
The Gamma Ball Rally Auction
The fundraising doesn’t stop when the engines start.
Our Gamma Ball Rally Auction goes live at 12pm on Friday 21 August, giving you the chance to get your hands on some brilliant prizes while helping us raise even more for ATE and SpecialEffect.
Take a look, place your bids and keep checking back to make sure nobody has outbid you.
