Fundraising Ideas for Schools and Charity Events!

There are so many worthy causes and possible reasons that you may need to raise funds for your School, Sports Club, Community Group or Registered Charity. Often the hardest thing to do is rally the support and enthusiasm of the people around you in order to reach your goal!

The first step is to let people know why you are fundraising and why you need their help (e.g. new sports equipment for your school). Also confirm the amount of cash you are hoping to raise as this will help parents, relatives, friends and even corporate sponsors to understand your aims and to help you achieve them.

If you have a regular newsletter or online community, be sure to include your fundraisers in an article, blog or post and also to include the correct links to your sponsors, include their logos and information so that they can help drive people towards your goal too, plus it is great advertising and the more you can include them in your event the more support they are likely to provide.

Make sure that you provide the correct dates and details for the event so that everyone understands how it will work, what is required and what will be achieved at the end. Also, if you have a group meeting or perhaps a school assembly this is a great time to tell everyone about your ideas and to gain the interest of all those involved.

With all that said you will of course need to decide your method of fundraising and how you can make the most of it, here are a few ideas and suggestions of how you can apply Coolaz Drink Holders, Water Bottle Coolers and Mouse Mats to your fundraiser:

School and Event Merchandise

Publicise your event on the products that you choose! Perhaps you are having a ‘fun-run’ to raise money for a local charity, simply send through the event details and your logo and we will create the perfect merchandise that you can sell on the day to raise some extra cash.

You can email us your school crest, sports logo, class list or group photo along with your design preferences or uniform colours and our experienced team will design a cooler to suit your requirements. This is a great way to raise extra money and market your school at the same time, be sure to include your school motto or mission statement!

School Water Bottle Cooler

“Coolers are sensational! Children and adults love them. The whole idea of being flexible for the water bottles has worked a treat. Thanks so much.”

Angela Gooley - Principal Springfield Central State School

Perhaps you are celebrating your centenary year, having an open day or even a series of events? Whatever you are celebrating we can help - due to our unique manufacturing and digital process we can print several designs across your ordered volume for little or no extra cost. A great tool if you have a few different events coming up and want to print them all at once! You could even consider this for your sports day or events where you are split into ‘houses’ as you can print a different colour for each house.

Personal Gifts

You may like to think about a specific event or occasion that is coming up such as Fathers day, Grand Final, Melbourne Cup, Christmas, Australia day or Easter to name but a few... You can then create the perfect gift for that someone special to suit your chosen occasion. Whichever event you choose there are several options available in terms of the design process:

• The hands-on approach

We can provide a blank template onto which your group or individual child can paint, draw or sketch their very own piece of art! It could be a self-portrait, handprint, simple drawing or elaborate design. Each piece of art can then be scanned and made into your very own cooler - a fantastic gift idea for any occasion!

Hand Drawn Personalised Coolers

• The perfect portrait

Do you have a collection of photographs taken at your school or club, perhaps headshots for your yearbook or action shots from a specific event? Why not send us your images along with a names list to match and we can print a picture along with an individual name and class number or group logo as a memento of the event or year!
