A HEARTFELT THANK YOU
Our wonderful mentors and supporters spark their own fundraisers – from birthday and wedding donation drives, to games nights, music quizzes, raffles, dinner parties, and a host of sporting events.
There are many platforms available for fundraising, including popular social media platforms and dedicated fundraising tools like Fundraise Up, GivenGain, and Give Your Best.
We would love to boost your campaign!

TYPES OF FUNDRAISERS:
From intimate performances to star-led benefit evenings. Led by founder Gillian Anderson and our wider community of patrons, friends and talented mentors, these powerful events blend purpose, performance, and connection. Join us in New York, London, Cape Town, or Berlin – or help bring one to your city.
Celebrate the season and support a cause. Host a garden gathering, rooftop dinner, or sunset soirée to raise funds for SAYes. Whether you’re welcoming Spring in Cape Town or toasting the end of Summer in New York or London, these relaxed, joyful events are a beautiful way to connect friends to a bigger purpose.
Run, laugh, and get covered in colour – all for a great cause. SAYes supporters have brought the fun to Berlin, Chicago, Santiago, London and beyond. Host or join a Colour Run and turn every step into support for youth mentoring.
The generosity of the long-distance runner lives on in every step. SAYes supporters have run marathons in Los Angeles, London, Cape Town, Cologne, and Brisbane – raising vital funds with every mile. Run for change, run with purpose.
Cycle your social change. From casual riders to seasoned cyclists, whether you’re participating in the iconic Cape Town Cycle Tour or organising a local ride in your own city, cycling events are a dynamic and visible way to show your support, get active, and invite sponsorship from your network.
SAYes Charity Walks bring mentors, mentees, friends, families, and supporters together to raise funds and awareness. Whether it’s a scenic coastal stroll or a local park loop, these walks are easy to organise, deeply connecting, and open to everyone. Invite your network, set a goal, and let each step become a symbol of the future we’re building together.
Its no SECRET — SAYes was built with the heart and dedication of fans worldwide. From mentors to fundraisers, groups like X-PhilAnthropy, Aussie X-Files Fans, Friends of SAYes Germany, and the PhileFest community have been with us since day one. Your belief continues to power real-world change.
Yes, the rumours are true – our raffles are legendary. With prizes that are signed, stylish and personalised. SAYes raffles turn generosity into fun. Enter the draw, fund the future, and win something unforgettable.
SAYES Networking Events:
Mentor Meetups are self-organised gatherings held in cities around the world — from Berlin and Chicago to Santiago and London. They’re a chance for mentors to connect in person, share stories, swap ideas, and build community beyond the screen. Wherever you are, you can start one — it begins with a message.
Looking for deeper conversations and shared interests? Mentor Salons are small, self-organising discussion groups on everything from poetry and music to books and big ideas. Hosted online and open to all SAYes mentors worldwide, these gatherings offer a space to reflect, connect, and grow together. Open to Mentors and Alumni.
