Fundraising is an excellent way to help contribute to 15 May School’s projects, and importantly it is a rewarding and fun experience! The type and size of fundraiser depends entirely on where your interests lie and how much creativity you have!

Here are some ideas to get your brain ticking:

Sports Challenges:

You can rally a group of friends together and set up some sporting challenges such as tennis matches, football games, bike rides etc and have all entrants provide a gold coin donation to play. Easy and fun! Organise a fun-run or bike ride and have all the entrants sponsored.

Competitions:

You could hold endless competitions to help the children of 15 May School ranging from quiz nights to colouring in competitions and three legged races! You can organize a competition any time, anywhere so get creative and you might even get a mention in the sponsors section on our website.

Party Time!

Hosting a party, big or small, and collecting ticket entry donations is an excellent and easy way to help contribute to 15 May School’s cause. Why not host a fundraising bbq, or a party to coincide with the football final or someone’s birthday.

Ideas for Schools:

• Host a casual day
• Host a book, CD or game swap – gold coin entry
• Ask kids to get sponsored not to watch TV for a week!
• Put on a Rock Star concert or talent quest and sell tickets
• Guess how many jelly beans in the jar – at $2 per guess (winner gets the jelly beans)
• Ask a local Sports Star for some memorabilia and have a raffle
• Host a bingo or trivia competition – gold coin entry
• Have a pyjama party – show a movie in the school hall – sell tickets and popcorn
• Compete with other classes or houses for the best fundraising events
• Sell chocolates or bags of lollies
• Have a fun run, walkathon, swimathon – kids can be sponsored per lap
• Have a read-a-thon – kids can be sponsored per book read

Some helpful pointers:

• Give everyone plenty of notice
• Form a reliable team of people to help you
• Have lots of fun!
