School fundraisers don't have to focus on junk food! Parents know: kids have just as much fun running, walking, dancing, doing service projects and more! Check out some ideas below.

Concerned about fundraisers in your school? Get involved by talking to the principal and PTA. Indeed, many schools need to raise funds for important programs. Schools may also feel overwhelmed and/or too busy to explore new ideas. Sharing your concern as a parent, and offering to help brainstorm and launch new options, can make a big difference! 

Why not try:

  • Walkathon
  • Danceathon
  • Readathon
  • Raffles
