Connecting Schools With Great Fundraising Ideas.

For today’s Resource Round-up, I’m pointing you toward a number of articles that highlight some of the more interesting “thons” that are out there. Although not all of these articles involve school fundraising in particular, the ideas can certainly be adapted and used in any kind of non-profit situation. Be creative!

In Canton, Illinois, students have organized a Math-A-Thon as fundraiser for a hospital. From the Canton Daily Ledger.

Each year, hundreds of Christians gather at the U.S. Capitol to undertake a 90 hour continuous Bible Reading Marathon. This year the event happens from Sunday, April 27 through May 1, 2008. Check out the web site for more info.

In Houghton, Michigan, the Mining Gazette reports that the Bay Cliff Health Camp sponsored its second annual Stand-a-thon.

Found at the Online Athens website: The University of Georgia Rec Club will host a “Kartwheels for Kids” cartwheel-a-thon Saturday to raise money for the Interplast Foundation, which provides free surgical care for children in developing countries.

UDaily, the student newspaper for the University of Delaware, has an article about the third annual Erg-a-thon, which raised $8,000.

And in Olympia, Washington, an elementary school is hosting a Moustache-A-Thon. It’s true, I couldn’t make something like that up!) Read more in The Olympian.
