I work for an after-school program with kids from ages 5-12. What do you think would be a good fundraiser for this age group? We have 13 sites with over 500 kids in the program total. We were thinking about a walkathon or penny wars. Are there any other ideas that would be good?
TIA!
Kelly

Youth Involvement
Hey Kelly,
How about Quarters for a Cure? The kids each get a film canister or pill bottle and ask for quarters. If they get more than their canister will hold, use a ziploc baggie. There is a letter you can send home with the kids to the parents. The child raising the much gets a little prize or the class raising the most maybe a pizza party. We do it here in our area and it is a great success and hit with the kids! Kids are not bashful and love to be involved. If you want more info or a copy of the letter, email me at bama911gal@aol.com I will be happy to pass along what we have.
In Relay Spirit,
Cheri Palmer
Ideas for kids
I'm not sure if you could find a way to turn this into a fundraiser but a few years ago we had the 3rd graders in our town decorate luminarias for a competition.
Not only did they get involved with relay but then we also had that many more luminaria bags to go around the track! And a lot of the kids came to the relay with their parents to see their bags lit up so it brought more people to the relay!
