Здравствуйте, интересует перевод данного выражения, контекста как такого нет, но есть отрывок, в котором оно встречается (речь идет о работе хосписа):

Our telephone team of volunteers (which now includes corporate volunteers) continue to contact donors to chase outstanding sponsor money and encourage support by calling past and potential event participants. The team is managed by a Telephone Team Leader to ensure that the team is professional and effective.

The team have proved to be a valuable asset to fundraising with nearly 5,000 calls made during the year to raise awareness of the hospice as well as promoting specific projects such as fundraising events, collecting tins, lottery superdraw, the accumulator challenge, shop stock donations and raffles.

это название кампании по сбору средств - выдается определенная сумма, назначается срок и проводится соревнование - кому удастся больше заработать, используя эти деньги

Нет, это что-то между лотереей и рулеткой. Игра. прочитайте про это

Делают ставки и выявляют победителей. Остатки денег идут на благотворительность.

[Amor 71]

по большому счету, любой конкурс, где участники делают ставки или покупают билеты

[Сергей Зайцев]

Rengo, а что значит "проводится соревнование"? Соревнование с кем?

[Сергей Зайцев]

А, я понял, соревнуются разные лица между собой. Остается непонятным одно: за счет чего им удается увеличить выданную сумму?
