FUNDRAISING – Olympic fundraisers
12 Swim the Channel But do it in the safety of the
local swimming pool (or your school pool, if you’re lucky
enough to have one). Divide the 21-mile distance between the whole school, or ask each pupil or class to swim a symbolic 21 lengths between them. Offer online and paper sponsorship options.

Set a goal: Ask your local football team if they’ll
participate in a sponsored penalty shoot-out and provide signed shirts or footballs for the kids who raise the most money. Or choose a different sport, such as rugby, which the children may not have tried before.
Don a beret: Give the arty kids a chance to shine by holding a
beret decorating competition. Buy the berets in bulk and let the kids decorate them with embroidery, sequins, fabric pens, feathers or whatever takes their fancy. Suggest a donation for entry and hold a beret parade at the end.
10
Run rings: For some Friday
afternoon fun, why not resurrect the game of hoopla, but with rings in the fi ve colours of the Olympics symbol and the Eiffel Tower as the target? Everyone gets something for entering, and anyone who throws all fi ve rings around the famous landmark wins a more substantial prize.
11
Feed the world: Celebrate the multicultural spirit of the
games by holding an international cake sale. Challenge people to bake or donate sweets associated with the participating country of their choice, whether it’s Black Forest gateau or baklava.
13
Play fair: Give your summer fair an international theme.
Designate each year group a country as the inspiration for their stall, such as sumo wrestling and sushi for Japan, or basketball and burgers for the USA. Continue the theme with country-related hampers for your raffl e prizes.
14 15
Dress to impress: Hold a non-uniform day where
children can dress in an outfi t that represents their favourite country. Think fl amenco dresses, cowboy hats, saris, kimonos, fezes – anything goes. Make sure the headteacher leads the way with something fl amboyant.
Wine down: Raise a glass to the hosts of the 2024 Olympics
by celebrating their most famous export. Approach your local wine shop and ask if they can run a wine-tasting evening for parents, or perhaps you have a parent in your school community who really knows their vino and likes to talk about it. Ask your local supermarket to donate bottles of France’s fi nest for a raffl e prize.
