"Fun"raising Ideas

These are events that can be lots of fun for participants and will raise money to help support a Community safety Program. Decide ahead of time which program you will be supporting, so that it can be announced in your promotion/publicity.

Dress Down Day/Theme day:

• Participants pay a fee to dress casually at work on a specific day. Spice up the day by adding a specific theme (e.g. bow ties, hats, Pajamas, Halloween, etc)

Team Challenges

• Your group forms teams that challenge each other to baseball, tugs of war, trivia, basketball, obstacle courses, fun golf, etc.
