Classic School Fun Run
IDEAL FOR SCHOOLS LOOKING TO INCREASE PARTICIPATION
Classic School Fun Run is a stripped back version of the event day, but it still comes with all the usual customer service we pride ourselves on. Classic School Fun Run is ideal for schools looking to increase participation in ‘serious’ events like School Cross Countries or Sports Days. We even have schools use the Classic School Fun Run structure in support of their Swimming Carnivals.
St Patrick’s College Strathfield increased participation in their existing Cross Country from 30 students to 365 by adding School Fun Run… and they raised $250,000 across five events! This version of School Fun Run comes with Free Berri Quelch Fruit Sticks and massive fundraising potential. Classic School Fun Run is a super easy way to turn a pre-existing day on the school calendar into a major school fundraising idea.
HOW DOES A CLASSIC FUN RUN WORK?
Step 1: Register Your School For A Crazy Colour Day!
Begin your Classic Fun Run journey by Registering Your School today! Upon registration, you'll receive our exclusive ReadySetGo kit, equipped with everything you need to host an exciting fun run at your school. While the Classic Fun Run doesn't include colour powder, it promises the same level of excitement and engagement and is easy to add your own theme or games too. We'll also assist you in setting up your JustGiving account, ensuring that participant and donor data is encrypted and secure.
By reserving your event date early, you'll have more time to work closely with our team to tailor the event to your specific goals and preferences. The sooner you register, the more time we'll have to create a truly memorable experience for your school community!
Step 2: Develop Creative School Fundraising Ideas!
Once registered, embark on a strategy session with your dedicated School Fundraising Coach to brainstorm and plan creative fundraising ideas customized to your school. Together, we'll establish fundraising goals that include profile challenges, milestone rewards, teacher incentives, and recognition for the highest fundraising class, among other exciting initiatives.
Through a comprehensive fundraising plan, we'll ensure that your Classic Fun Run event is not only enjoyable but also incredibly impactful for your school community. Get ready to unleash your creativity and make a difference with your fundraising efforts!
Step 3: Utilize The School Fundraising Platform!
Maximize your fundraising success with our online platform designed to streamline your efforts. Access valuable resources at your convenience, including video tutorials and pre-written support materials like Newsletter Articles, Parent Letters, and Communications. Monitor your fundraising progress in real-time with our live funds tracker, allowing for effective management of activities throughout your event and staying on track to reach your goals.
Keep your school community engaged and motivated with automated emails featuring helpful hints and tips, while also having the flexibility to send custom messages tailored to your fundraising needs. With these tools at your disposal, you have everything you need to elevate your fundraising efforts and make a significant impact for your school with the Classic Fun Run!
Step 4: Fundraise for Your Classic Fun Run!
Build momentum by launching and promoting your special event! Your Fundraising Coach will ensure that the lead-up to this event is as enjoyable as the event day itself. Utilize our prewritten support materials and tailor-made fundraising plan to kickstart your efforts at least 4 weeks before your event day. We'll provide you with everything necessary to actively involve teachers and families. Your Fundraising Coach will guide you through each step, making the process enjoyable. Additionally, leverage our custom website to track your fundraising progress in real-time and access assistance whenever needed. Gain full access to digital support materials, including pre-written social media posts!
Step 5: Create Lasting Memories with Your Classic Fun Run!
Now comes the exciting part: The Classic Fun Run! Choose a time and location that best suits your school. Opt for hosting the event during school hours to ensure maximum participation. Typically, schools organize runs for groups of around 50-100 kids at a time. Utilize a loop track spanning approximately 150 meters, allowing each group to run for about 15 minutes. This setup enables most schools to complete their entire Fun Run between the ‘End of Lunch’ and ‘End of Day’ periods.
Your Fundraising Coach will be an invaluable resource in planning this day, ensuring it's a memorable experience for everyone involved and that the Fun Run is tailored to your school. Let's create unforgettable moments within our school community! Together, we'll make it the best day ever!
Step 6: Award Classic Fun Run Prizes!
Now it's time to recognize the efforts of your families and express your heartfelt gratitude. Rest assured, there's no financial risk or upfront cost for your school. Following the Classic Fun Run, you'll receive a comprehensive invoice covering all expenses. Every family that raises over $10 will be rewarded for their hard work. No need for you to manage spreadsheets; families can conveniently order their prizes online post-event, and the website will handle all tracking for you. Once we've received your prize order, the excitement continues as we package all the prizes and deliver them to you for distribution to the families. Celebrate the dedication and generosity of the families, ensuring they feel appreciated for their contributions to your school community.
