If you’re wondering where to start for your fundraising events, here are some ideas!
Hot Lunch
Provide students and staff with the opportunity to donate money and receive a hot lunch of grilled cheese, pancakes, pasta, and more!
Noodles and DoodlesHost a pasta lunch or dinner event where students can “auction” of artwork they’vecreated to support Hats on For Healthcare.
Mario Kart Tournament
Host an all inclusive Mario Kart tournament during lunch or recess. Have teams of two donate a set amount to participate and compete against their fellow students to become the Grand Prix winner!
Read-a-Thon
Students are given a pledge sheet to ask family members, or other people in the community, if they are willing to support them by donating a set amount of money for every book they finish in the month of March.
Grade Wars
Have a teacher represent a particular grade and take a picture wearing their craziest hat. Then display these images in a safe location for students to donate money into their grade’s slot in order to win a prize at the end for having the most money raised. Prizes could include bleachers at the next assembly, an extra recess or free activity period, or a free dress down day.
Trivia Event
Sell tickets to a trivia or quiz event on a topic of your choosing (make sure to include a crazy fact about headwear in your topic!) You can also choose to sell small snack items like popcorn or candy bags.
