The Healthy Fundraising for Schools guide provides an overview of how to raise funds while promoting health and having fun!

The guide is for Parent Advisory Councils (PACs), principals, teachers, school staff, and students to use when fundraising for schools, school-supported teams, and clubs.

Why is Healthy Fundraising important?

For healthier students who learn better.
Research shows that healthy lifestyles are linked to better behaviour and academic performance.

To support classroom learning.
Students learn about healthy choices in the classroom and school newsletters repeat these messages to parents. Fundraising that reinforces healthy lifestyle choices also reinforces the Health and Career Education curriculum.

For a healthy school environment.
Making healthy choices the easy choices will shape healthy habits. Healthy fundraising shows that your school is committed to promoting healthy behaviours among students, staff, families, and the community at large.
