Fundraising Over The Holidays

We have made an amazing start to our fundraising with the Movie Night and Duncraig Sausage Sizzle, clearing the $1000 mark so far!

This Summer Holiday is the perfect time for you as an individual to do some fundraising on your own. (An important part of SSS Global Tours is fundraising for our partners overseas.  In our case, that’s Bali Life Foundation. Although we will do a couple of group fundraisers each term, you are expected to be fundraising as an individual too.)

Here are some suggestions:

  • A sausage sizzle at your church OR after cricket training
  • Sell cakes and slices at your church  OR take orders from family and friends
  • Have a continental breakfast of fresh fruit, pastries and coffee one Saturday morning for your friends
  • Cook a meal for family or friends
  • Wash your relatives’ cars
  • Wash windows, mow lawns, weeding etc
  • Do some babysitting for family and friends
  • Netflix and popcorn movie night (babysitting) for friends with young children
  • Have a music concert or drama performance where you charge admission and serve drinks and snacks
  • Have a High Tea for your mum and all her friends OR for you and all your friends
  • Wash your friends’ or relatives’ dogs
  • Have a games night with snacks and drinks provided

Have a chat with your parents about it. What connections do they have? What clubs or organisations do they belong to? Where might you find some buyers for your fundraising initiatives?

We think a reasonable fundraising target for you as an individual over the summer holidays is $200.

Do your best to raise money for Bali Life over the next 7 weeks and we’ll be checking in with you at our first meeting early next term to see how much you raised.
