    Abstract

    Five hundred and seventy-nine members of the public who reported that they had previously taken part in one or more charity-related sporting events completed a questionnaire designed to establish their reasons for participation, and their willingness to increase their financial contribution to an event based on its charity-credentials. Ten motives seemingly determined participation, four of which dominated responses, namely motivations arising from personal involvement with the good cause(s) supported by an occasion; opportunities to lead a healthy lifestyle provided by the event; an individual’s involvement with the sport in question; and the desire to mix socially with other attendees.
