How Does My Child Fundraise?

Firstly, go to schoolfunrun.co.nz and create a student profile page. Everything to do with your fundraising revolves around this page. Share the page with family and friends (Facebook, Email, or text) and let the fundraising begin.  The children can offer to do a chore, or help in some way to exchange for sponsorship.  The children can have fun watching their page evolve, collecting stickers, earning badges and seeing the leaderboard.

Students who raise just $10 will be able to choose a prize! The more they raise, the better their reward – you will find the full range in your sponsorship form.
