Raise money for your school group and
promote a healthy lifestyle at the same time
Finding
ways to promote a healthy way of life is very important to today's
parents and educators. There are several ways that your school
group can encourage healthy living and raise some funds for the
school.
You can either promote a healthy food fundraiser, or host an
activity that is exercise based. Here are several variations on
healthy fundraisers for your group to consider:
1. Popcorn
Popcorn
makes a good fundraiser because it's a snack that many people
enjoy. Unlike frozen foods, popcorn fundraisers do not require
refrigeration. These resealable bags are not too bukly or heavy
so they are easy to store and deliver. The popcorn comes in regular
butter, lowfat butter, natural, and kettle corn.
2. Fruit Sales
Many growers offer fruit wholesale to schools so that they can
sell it to raise funds. Apples, oranges, pears, and grapefruits
are available. Some fruit sales are done seasonally and
some are available year-round.
3. Walks and other "Thons"
Walk-a-thons are fun ways to promote exercise, for kids to have
a fun day and to raise funds for your school group. Usually
these raise money when kids get family and friends to pledge a
certain amount per mile or for the day. Businesses can sponsor
the walk-a-thon for additional revenue for the school. Other popular
thons include jump rope, skip, hop scotch and cycling.
4. Dance Fundraiser
Dances
are popular especially with junior high, high school, college
groups and adults. There are a variety of ways that a dance fundraiser
can be planned. Choose a theme that will be fun for your group.
Ticket sales, food, raffles and auctions are just a few
ways to raise funds with a dance.
5. Bottled Water Sales
Bottled water is popular as an alternative to sugary soda. Your
school can have private label bottled water and sell it at school.
The bottles can be sold as cases or individually. It can
be sold at sports games and concession stands.
