HEALTHY “WINS”

What’s wrong with cookie dough, gigantic chocolate bars, and caramel corn?

!  Most folks have plenty cookies, candy, and other nutrient-poor foods already.

!  These foods do not provide positive examples to families.

!  Many fundraisers take $$$$ out of state, with limited funds going to schools.

No precise definition !  Does not sell nutrient-poor

foods/beverages !  Promotes healthy behaviors

to kids and families !  Supports local business or

keeps money in-state

Raises $$$$$!!

Fitness is Fun Fundraiser !  2nd Annual Emily

Dickinson Fun Run !  MORE than just

running !  Adopting a “Fitness

is Fun” attitude for a healthy lifestyle for years to follow

HOW DOES IT WORK?

!  Kids gather pledges prior to the FUN RUN. !  On the FR day, kids are given 30 minutes to

run around a 100 meter track. We stop counting at 35 laps.

!  Kids have 10 days to return the pledges they collect.

!  Kids are givens incentives to gather pledges and then are able to win Grand Prizes based on the amount of money is collected.

WHAT ELSE IS IMPORTANT?

!  During the 10 days prior to the FUN RUN, we bring in health and fitness experts to give brief, inspiring talks in classrooms.

!  Teachers support the curriculum piece with classroom lessons.

WHERE DID WE GET IDEA?

!  Boosterathon.com –company didn’t want to come to Montana.

!  The beauty of a home grown fundraiser is that 100% of the net earnings goes to the organization.

HOW CAN YOU USE THE CONCEPT? !  The concept of kids

collecting pledges for fitness activities can be adapted to ANY activity.

!  Swimming laps, shooting hoops, minutes of jumping rope, indoor walking laps … ETC, ETC!!

Fitness is Fun Fundraiser !  This has been the

most positive fundraiser I have been a part of.

!  We received positive feedback from parents, kids and staff!

!  It’s a fundraiser everyone can get excited about!!

Keeping it all LOCAL:
