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.
• Dollar Days — Designate Fridays as Dollar Days. Students pay $1 to wear a hat or an ugly sweater, get a homework pass, get extra free time, etc.
• Business Bucks — Encourage parents to ask coworkers to contribute or ask their company to match the class’s donation. This is a great way to use your online giving page!
• After-School Party — Hold a $5 after-school party to benefit your program. Activities could include: open gym, water balloon toss, dancing, concession sales, homework help, etc.
• Music on a Mission — Students donate $5 to listen to their iPod at lunch.
• Penny War Against Cancer — Create a competition between classes/periods where pennies have a positive value and silver change has a negative value.
• Music for the Mission — Students buy a ballot to vote for a song to play over the loudspeakers on the last day. What will it be?
