How Does My Child Fundraise?

Firstly, go to schoolfunrun.co.nz and create a student profile page. Everything to do with your fundraising revolves around this page. Share the page with family and friends (Facebook, Email or text) and let the fundraising begin. The children can offer to do a chore, help in some way to exchange for sponsorship. The children can have fun watching their page evolve, collect stickers, earn badges and see the leaderboard.

Students who raise just $10 will be able to choose a prize! The more they raise, the better their reward – you will find the full range in your sponsorship form.

WIN JUICY’S FOR THE CLASS

The class who has the most profiles by Friday 16th will receive Juicy’s.

Winners will have the Juicy’s delivered to their class on Monday 20 September.
