UPCOMING PROJECTS
PROJECT PROPOSAL
The Great British
Pancake Race
A proposal to develop an annual charity event to
coincide with Ukrainian Mazlinitsa
A great British tradition
● Pancake Day falls on Shrove Tuesday, the day before the start of Lent
when it is traditional to use up all your flour, eggs and sugar
● In 2012 Pancake day will fall on the 21st of February
● The first record of a pancake day race dates back to 1445 in the village of
Olnay in Buckinghamshire, in the UK
● Pancake races have been run almost annually since that date
● The contestants, traditionally women, carry a frying pan and race to the
finishing line while tossing the pancakes as they go.
● The winner is the first to cross the line having tossed the pancake a certain
number of times.
● Traditionally, when men want to participate, they must dress up as a
housewife (usually an apron and a bandanna) however fancy dress is also
acceptable.
Proposal
● Pancake day races take place in the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland,
Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Philippines and in some states in the USA
● To start the tradition in Ukraine but as an annual Charity event to raise
money and to promote charitable values on the day before Lent
● Involve the following parties
●
●
●
●
●
●
The British Embassy
The Kyiv Lions Club
British based companies as sponsors
A British Hotel as a base point
Gala Radio to promote the event
The media to cover the event and as competitors
The event
● 12.00 noon on Tuesday the 21st of February
● Traditionally Pan Cake races are for individuals the event is more
likely to raise funds if it is done as a team event
●
●
●
●

●

Hyatt Hotel
Option 2
How will it raise money and awareness?
● Each team will pay an entry fee
● Sponsors cover the cost of the organisation of the event, the branded
start and finish line and make a donation to KLC
● At the after party we hold an auction of simple items – Target $2,000
● The real value will be in the media value as such an event is very
likely to attract television and press interest
●
●
●
●
Media maximisation for the Embassy as it is a British custom
Media maximisation for KLC as it is a Charity event
Media event for the sponsors
A fun event that people will talk about
The competitors
● The rules
● To be finalised but each competitor will have to toss their pancake at fixed
points on the route
● The competitors
● Team uniforms / T shirts
● Frying pan
● Pancakes provided by the participating hotel
● The teams
● All girls or all boys but dressed as girls or mixed teams but all dressed as girls
● Fancy dress teams
● School teams (age range to be determined)
Next steps
● Discuss with the President of Kyiv Lions Club to get concept buy in
● Discuss with the Embassy to get concept buy in and agree
participation
● Prepare an event budget
● Discuss with potential sponsors
● Identify potential teams and media sponsors
● Meet with the city to get formal permission

WORK GROUP
KLC 2012
Christmas Party for Orphans
A discussion proposal
The Idea
• To create a Christmas Party for all the
children that live in children’s homes and
orphanages in the City of Kiev
• A party that brings together the people of
the city, the pop music industry and the City
administration in an event designed to give
children a huge hug at Christmas
• A party that could become an annual event
and at the same time raise money for
Children’s homes and orphanages
The Concept
• A Christmas party at Palace of Sport
• Held in the weeks just before New Year or
Old Christmas
• Held on Saturday afternoon so that it does
not interfere with musicians evening
schedules and is ideal for families
• A full programme of top musicians invited by
Gala Radio to appear and sing 2 or 3 songs
• Celebrities invited to participate as Father
frost, Snegurochka and others
• Recorded for national television broadcast
as part of the new year celebrations

Public presentation
• Tickets sold to the public through the
normal ticket sales outlets
• Event widely publicised by Gala Radio and
associated radio stations, the print and
electronic media and via television
• Presented as a Party for the Children of the
whole city
Key message
‘buy tickets for your family and give a
present to a child that has no family’
The organisers
• KLC and Gala Radio as coordinators and
organisers
• A full time team working for 4 to 6 months
before the event, funded by sponsors
• The Administration of the City of Kyiv to
ensure that issues surrounding the
organisation and the children’s homes are
minimised
• Supportive media and sponsors
How does it make money
• City Administration provide palace of Sport
for free, provide the transport for the
children and access to National Television
• Gala Radio persuade the artists appear for
free and promote the event
• The sponsors cover the capital costs and
provide the Christmas gifts for the children
• KLC and Gala Radio provide the
organisational and logistical support
• 100% of ticket sales and the balance of
sponsorship support comes to KLC
What do we do with the
funds
• Use them to buy sports & play ground
equipment for Children’s homes
• We will not raise enough money to fit out
every children’s home therefore they will
have to compete to win the equipment
• Link the project to sports equipment
producers to expand the scope and reach of
the project
Anticipated results
• Funding for a very worthy cause
• An event that may bring the city together to
rethink their approach to orphanages and
children’s homes particularly at christmas
• KLC working with the City to support the
under privileged
• Massive publicity for our work
Why start now?
• Organising an event of this scale needs to be
planned well in advance to:
• Maximise sponsorship and corporate
support
• Ensure that the event is built into
sponsors 2012 marketing and CSR plans
• Ensure the participation of top musicians
and celebrities
• Building public awareness that this is a
public event for a good cause at Christmas
• Maybe develop this as an annual charity
event
Initial decisions
• Does the concept fit within the ideals of KLC?
• Do we have the resources to carry out such a
large project?
• Are we prepared to undertake such a long
term project?
• Who is ready to volunteer for a working
group?
