FUND RAISER IDEAS!
Want to raise money for protecting our K-9 heroes? Planning a fundraiser is easier than you think.
Below are just a few great ideas from some of our members. Email us your ideas too!
- Place donation containers in local businesses, e.g. veterinarian’s office, petshop
- Organize a raffle or auction, and in addition to contributions from friends and family, local
businesses may be willing to help you with prizes.
- Start a recycling drive (cans, newspapers, ink cartridges). Its good for the environment too!
- Bring out the shoppers! Hold a neighbourhood yard sale, bake sale, craft sale.
- Plan an exciting activity or event around something you love doing and raise money: Read-a-thon,
Dance-a-thon, Bike-a-thon
- Find ways to get local businesses involved. Businesses who might not be able to donate money
might still be able to donate their services. Maybe your hair salon can hold a haircut fundraiser;
they'll get great publicity, participants will get new haircuts and K-9s will be vested!
- Organize a local treasure hunt and charge an entry fee. One winner wins the ‘booty’ but everyone
will enjoy the adventure.
- Volunteer for a coffee run/food run at work and ask to keep the 'tip'
- Foreign currency collection. Collect everyone's old foreign coins and get them converted back to
dollars. You'd be surprised how much it can all add up.
- Nailbiting, swearing, tardiness - change bad habits to a good cause by introducing a Penalty Jar
at home, school, work.
- Who doesn't love a party? Host a movie night, casino night, karaoke night or murder mystery
dinner.
- Five Dollar Fridays - donate $5 to wear jeans to work or school on Friday
- Caps for K-9's - people/kids wear hats to work or school for a donation one day per week
