25 Fundraising Ideas for our 25th Anniversary Celebration Challenge

Fun and Easy Ways to Raise Dh 25,000 for Race Against the Rain by March 25

1. It’s a Bust – Sell balloons for Dhs 25 each and insert a number in each that corresponds to a raffle ticket given to the purchaser. Pop a balloon for each available prize and read off the winning number.

2. Change It – Start a competition between 25 classes, give each section a large water bottle with their section photo and the Race Against the Rain logo on it and collect change before the 25^th March deadline. The one with the most collected wins a prize.

3. 25/75 Raffle – Sell raffle tickets and offers 25 % of the proceeds as prizes.

4. Going Once, Going Twice – Seek out 25 service and product donations from companies and hold a silent auction

5. Matching Gift – Ask a company match any donations your group collects by March 25^th. Then, contact other companies to match the gift.

6. Trendy Bracelets – Each member of your group sell 25 silicone wrist bands that promote Race Against the Rain. http://www.giftsuppliers4uae.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=88_89

9. Strike Gold – Participants ask friends and family to donate 25 pieces of old jewelry they no longer wear and turn the gold in for cash.

10. Go Hairless for 25 days – Volunteers commit to shaving their heads if a specified amount is raised by a deadline.

11. Choose the Torture – Have donors pay Dh 25 a vote to decide which form of “torture” to inflict on your teacher (i.e. wear a wig, dress as a clown,)

12. Skip a Meal (about Dh 25) – Sponsors commit to giving up a meal together and give the money saved to Race Against the Rain.

13. Start a coin trail in the canteen and try to make it 25 feet long.

14. Egg ‘Em On – Get 25 eggs and ask people to donate Dh25 for doing certain things with the eggs – where old clothes!!! (i.e. juggle, crack it on your head, throw it up and catch it).

15. Reverse Raffle – All potential sponsors get a raffle ticket and sell it back for Dh 25 to avoid getting their name drawn to do something embarrassing.
