Ideas for Health & Wellness Contest! Tips for Healthy Fundraising

July 18, 2011 | Written By:

For years, some schools have sold candy, sweets, and other unhealthy snacks to raise money for school activities. With the rise in childhood obesity and increased interest in sending consistent messages about wellness at school, more and more school administrators are moving away from fundraising efforts that sell these products and are finding other ways to successfully raise funds. 

Fundraising
This week, Healthy Schools Campaign asks:

What are your ideas for successful school fundraisers that don’t rely on unhealthy food? 

Submissions close Sunday, July 24 at 11:59 p.m.

Remember, there are four ways to enter Healthy Schools Campaign Ideas for Health & Wellness Contest:

Facebook_logo Facebook. Like us on Facebook. When each week’s question is posted, respond to the question with a comment that shares your story, idea, and tips. (Please remember to share your ideas as a comment on each week’s post rather than as a general comment on HSC’s wall.)

 

Twitter_Logo Twitter. Follow @healthyschools. When each week’s question is posted, tweet with your idea with the tag #hscidea. There’s only 140 characters, so make ‘em count! (Submissions that do not include #hscidea will not be counted . . . we may not be able to find them!).

 

RSS_Logo Blog. Each week, we’ll post a question on our blog. Share your story, idea, and tips in the comments section of that week’s post. 

 

 

Email_Logo Email. Send an email with your idea to ideas@healthyschoolscampaign.org for that week's question. Put the question in the subject line.

 

We will randomly select a winner who will be contacted in respect to their submission. (Facebook winners will receive a message, Twitter winners will receive a DM, and blog commenters will receive an email). We’ll share stories and ideas from the contest in the coming weeks. All entrants will be recognized when their ideas are used.

Questions? Contact us.

Good luck! We look forward to hearing your ideas!
