Healthy Kids School Fundraising
Why healthy fundraising?
Australia is facing an epidemic of obese and overweight children, which has more than doubled in the last twenty years. Making the choice to raise funds in a healthy way is one way school communities can play a part in tackling this problem.
8 reasons for healthy fundraising:
1. Makes money for your school while promoting health and wellbeing.
2. Provides the personal satisfaction of being a positive role model.
3. Shows your school community that you care about children’s health rather than profit alone.
4. Reinforces the health messages that children hear in the classroom.
5. Involves the whole school community (students, parents, teachers and other staff).
6. Fundraisers will often be a ‘friend’ raiser and a ‘fun’ raiser in the school.
7. Supports the Fresh Tastes @ School NSW Healthy School Canteen Strategy.
8. May be run as often as you like.
