Why a school fun run is the perfect fundraiser
One of the best parts about fun runs for schools is their flexibility, making them a great choice for fundraising. Whether it’s a lap around the school oval or an adventurous route through local parks, the event is completely organised and planned by the school. While Go Raise It provides helpful guides and suggestions, the planning and execution are in the school’s hands so you can customise the event for your community. Schools can also enhance the event with creative ideas, like themed runs — such as colour runs or obstacle courses — to make it exciting for students and families. As a low-cost and stress-free option, a school fun run is perfect for raising funds while promoting a healthy, active lifestyle.
School fun run prizes and incentives
We know incentives are crucial in motivating students to participate fully in your fun run fundraiser. At Go Raise It, we work with you to develop a reward system that excites students without cutting into your funds. Our tried and tested ideas really do work to motivate students! From small individual prizes for top fundraisers to larger group rewards like a class pizza party or a school-wide celebration for achieving fundraising goals, our incentive guides will give you proven ideas that you can tailor to suit your school’s needs, ethos and budget.
We provide a guide with ideas to help your school design its own incentives program. This allows you to focus on motivating and celebrating student achievement during the school fun run without spending a large portion of the funds on expensive prizes. While we offer guidance, the final program is entirely in your hands.
With our support and guidance, we ensure the maximum amount of money raised goes back to the school. Our guides also help you avoid the hassle of complicated prize ordering and distribution, streamlining the process so your team can stay focused on the fun.
