Fundraiser Ideas
For Special Days

Special days and holidays give all sorts of opportunities for great fundraisers.

They provide convenient hooks around which you can build entire events and can also be the inspiration for fantastic ideas.

With a bit of imagination even the most well known special days Easter, Valentines, Halloween can become great money-makers for your organisation.

Do not overlook either some of the other quirky little days of the year. Shrove Tuesday (pancake day) cries out to have an after school pancake race. Shakespeare's Birthday April 23rd- what a great day for a Book Fair.

Is your school or church named after a saint? And you're not using that saint's day for fundraising? What's wrong with you?

The calendar is stuffed full of great excuses to put on an entirely new event or add a twist to something you are already doing. Pretty much any day can be turned into a brilliant event if you use a bit of imagination.

Still can't find a date for an idea that works for you? Invent one of your own. What about:

Give it a year or two and this could become a regular fixture on your town's social calendar.

So take a good look at the diary and look for a day that's just begging for a crack fundraising team like yours to get their hands on it.
