BE the Change

Let your kids get creative! Host a neighborhood lemonade stand, send a letter out to friends and family, or host a gathering!

FUNdraising Ideas!

• Performance art – go to a local park or crowded area and “busk” – defined as performing in a public place for tips. Can’t sing? Do magic tricks or recite poetry.
• Cycle-a-thon – head to the Veloway and spend the afternoon biking. Get some sponsors to pay you for every lap you bike.
• Silly games day – grab some friends and arrange a fun day in the park with various games, such as an egg and spoon walk, pin the tail on the donkey, homerun derby, tug of war, etc. Charge kids to come play in the games.
• Garage sale – proceeds go to BBDF
• Services – offer your neighbors to walk their dogs, wash their cars, wash their windows, mow their lawn, babysit, take the garbage cans in and out, etc. for donations.
• Read-a-thon – you get the idea. $$ per page or per book.
• Movie night – in your house or backyard, show an old classic and charge an entrance fee, but the popcorn is free!
• Ask – 10 people for a $10 donation in one day.
• Use social media and email – create your own personal fundraising page at    and tell the world about your fundraising efforts.
• Bowling night – secure pledges for number of pins that get knock down.
• Group babysitting – 3 hours one night host a group of young kids, they can eat, play games and watch watch a movie while mom and dad have a night out.
