fundraising event is that you can pair it with<br />
another fundraiser like an auction to raise<br />
even more funds

Pick A Location<br />
Choose A Time<br />
Be Mindful Of The Weather

low-stress fundraiser that can be easily used<br />
in conjunction with other fundraising<br />
ideas such as raffles, auctions and pizza nights

beverages that will be for<br />

Extravaganza

crowd during the summer. It’s also a familyfriendly<br />
summer fundraising idea

AT A BARBECUE<br />

Organizing raffles and auctions

Swim-a-Thon
Swim-a-Thon is an in-pool fundraiser where<br />
participants earn money by swimming lengths<br />
of the pool
BEFORE ORGANIZING A SWIM-A-THON,<br />
ASSESS YOUR CAPACITY<br />
What’s the size of the pool you will be using?<br />
How many swimmers can it comfortably fit?<br />
Could you organize several races throughout the day and then end with a<br />
race between all the winners?

Outdoor Fitness<br />
Club
Instead of organizing a single outdoor<br />
exercise class, go the extra mile and organize<br />
an outdoor fitness program. To make it fun,<br />
make it into a challenge
EXAMPLES OF FITNESS CHALLENGES<br />
30-Day Core Challenge<br />
Yoga Every Day Challenge<br />
Whole30 Challenge

Summer<br />
Excursions
A great way to respond to this need is to<br />
organize summer camping or summer hiking.<br />
This is a great fundraising idea for almost any<br />
age group
TO REALLY TAKE IT UP A NOTCH, YOU COULD ADD<br />
THESE TO YOUR HIKE/CAMPING<br />
Wildflower hikes: Follow the blooms with a guide<br />
Waterfall hikes: Visit several waterfalls in one trip<br />
Mushroom picking: Pick mushrooms with an expert
Summer fundraising<br />
doesn’t need to be<br />
daunting!
Perfect time to enjoy the sunshine with your<br />
supporters and raise funds at the same time
