Here is just a small sampling of some Fun Fundraising ideas.

• Stuck for a Buck — Hands down the most popular fundraising activity among schools of all levels! Students pay $1 for a piece of duct tape they use to tape a lucky staff person to a wall.
• Digital Dollars — Encourage your students to create a short video about participating in Pennies and email it to friends and family asking for online donations. Also, promote your page through emails, social media posts, newsletters and the school website.
• Pennies Pie — Reward the top fundraising classrooms with the chance to pie their teacher at the end of your campaign.
• Crazy for a Cure — Have a favorite staff person kiss a pig, shave their head, put on a chicken suit, etc., if your school reaches its goal.
• Make Leukemia Disappear — Place the word “leukemia” at the entrance to school. Each time your school collects a certain amount, remove one letter.
• Traveling Trophy — Make your own trophy. Each week of the campaign, the class/period raising the most money is awarded the trophy for the week.
• Team Up Against Leukemia — Designate a “jersey day” where students wear their favorite team jersey to school by donating $1 or more. Talk about the importance of working together as a team to reach your school’s goal.
• Pound of Pennies — Have weekly class/period weigh ins, and the heaviest donations wins—a quick way to keep students motivated! (Idea to increase donations: designate dollars to count as 1 pound each.)
• Spread the Love — In honor of Valentine’s Day, sell “candy for a cure.” Give out heart stickers to students who contribute or make Valentines for the Honored Heroes.
• Movie Night — Sponsor a movie night. Students and their families are invited to watch a movie shown on a screen outside or in the gym. Charge an entrance fee at the door and provide popcorn and soda during the movie.
• Be a Hero Hat Day — Designate a day where students can donate $1 to wear a hat to school.
• Paper Icons — Use the paper icon pads to create a Wall of Hope at your school. Sell the paper icons for $1 or $5. Businesses can sell these too!
