I only have a $100 budget for my PE needs — and this year we received more than $500 from our fundraiser to help us purchase new equipment. We are a 60% free and reduced lunch school, and this funding is important, as is teaching students how to take care of the mind and body.

The goal I set for our school that year was to raise $4,000. It was a lofty goal, but we ended up raising almost $8,000! As a result, we got to hang up a rock wall — and my students got to have ownership in that goal.

We chose our PTO as our charity, which gave students a concrete idea of what fundraising can do — helping their school and seeing the benefit of that every day.

I found that even if I choose the “Pay it Forward” fundraising option — where 25% of the funds raised support a charity of our choice — we still receive 25%, which is more than the 4% that I usually received from other fundraisers we have participated in.

An engaging three-day event you won't want to miss.
