Tips

Some Tips to make fundraising super easy:

  1. Dress Up : Get sponsored to wear a completely outrageous outfit on Romp day. Every year the outfits on the day get weirder and wackier and we’ve found that teams who have dared to dress up have had more success with sponsorship!
  2. Email: Send your family, friends and colleagues an email or a facebook message with the URL link to your team page and ask them to sponsor you, you can cut and paste the text from the fundraising letter PDF to use as a template, make sure you insert your own details.
  3. Dress down for donations: Talk your employer into letting you run a casual dress day at work once a week until the Romp, have everyone donate $2.00 to get involved. If you already have a casual clothes day you could make it a dress up day with a new theme every week.
  4. Back to school lunch: After dropping the kids back at school on the first day get together with the other parents and have a long lunch – get everyone to make a gold coin donation.
  5. How many lollies in the jar? An oldie but goodie! Fill up a jar with lollies, everybody at work has to make a cold coin donation to have a guess… the closest guess wins all the lollies.
  6. Garage Sale: You’ll be surprised how many items you no longer use, put it all together and hold a garage sale. Make sure people know that the money will be going for a worthy cause!
  7. Raffles: Use your contacts or sweet talk local businesses into donating items for you to raffle off - you’ll be surprised how generous local businesses are!
  8. PARTY: Put on a party or a BBQ on Labour Day and charge each of your guests $10 to come along.
  9. Make your own lunch: Rather than buying your lunch, organise a week at work where everyone has to bring lunch and donate the money that they would usually spend on lunch.
  10. Cut out coffee: Have a week in the office where rather than buying a coffee every day staff have to go a week without and everyone donates the money they would usually spend. Not only will they be donating to a good cause but also looking after their health.
