Fundraising Ideas
- Silent Auctions:
Many local and home-based businesses may be willing to donate items and services. - Coin Drive
- Bake Sales / Cook Offs
- Restaurant Sponsored Nights:
Many local restaurants will offer nights where they will donate a percentage of sales. You send customers on a designated night and they’ll send you a check. - Raffle Off Items Donated by Local Business
- Scratchcards:
Whirlix Design Inc. offers scratchcards where each fundraiser gets one scratchcard and asks friends and family members to donate the total amount scratched off. The supporter receives a coupon sheet for discounts from local vendors. Scratchcards can be personalized with a picture of your specific playground project. This 100% profit program is the perfect way to gain funds for your playground project. Learn more by contacting us. - Sponsor a piece of playground equipment:
Recognition is a great way to get businesses involved. Donors could sponsor a piece of equipment or have their name on a custom sign at the playground. - School Fair:
A fun way to bring the community together while raising money for the playground. You can sell food, booth space and tickets for fun activities. - Sponsor a 5K run or fun run/walk
