Fundraising Ideas
Kids to Kids Members are so creative! No two fundraisers are the same, because no two kids are the same. Great fundraisers happen when each kid contributes his/her unique talents, skills, passion and ideas. Here are two examples of fundraisers we have found to be most effective!
THE "A-THON": JUMP-A-THON / KICK-A-THON / ANY-A-THON
Set up a date, time and place to get people together to jump rope (or run laps dribbling a soccer ball, or a basketball, the possibilities are limitless!). Ask people to pledge you an amount of money per jump/lap and a maximum total pledge (you jump or run for up to 30 minutes, or 1 hour). Record how many jumps/laps you did and collect the money from the people who pledged.
Tip: It’s a good idea to practice once before you start collecting pledges, that way you can tell people about how many jumps/laps you think you can do in the allotted time.
