Healthy School Fundraising

Many schools, sporting teams and clubs regularly fundraise to raise money for new resources and equipment. In the school setting, fundraising activities can be a great opportunity to promote a healthy lifestyle to the whole school community.

Most schools now have healthy nutrition initiatives in place within the school environment, so selling confectionery and unhealthy snack foods for fundraising purposes may send the wrong message to students. With a little bit of inspiration and creativity, parents can work with schools to ensure that they do not rely on the sale of unhealthy, high fat, high sugar, junk food options.

Instead of junk food and chocolates, healthy foods, goods and services, and fun school community events can all be successfully used as fundraising alternatives. The options for healthy fundraising activities are endless!
