HISD 2013 BOWL‐A‐THON STAFF FUNDRAISING IDEAS
WHO’S THE BABY CONTEST Ask co-workers to bring in their baby pictures. Each week, feature a new group on a centrally located bulletin board. Co-workers pay $2 for each guess.
PENNY WARS Every penny counts. Place “penny” jars throughout the company with interdepartmental challenges. Pennies are all positive, silver coins and dollars are all negative. Your department should place as many pennies in your jar as possible and as many silver coins and dollars in your competitors jars as possible. The department with the most money (minus negative-valued dollars and silver coins) at the end of the given time wins!
UGLY SHOE CONTEST Employees put their ugliest or worst looking shoes on display near a break room or cafeteria. Co-workers are encouraged to submit a $1 vote for the ugliest looking shoes. The winner receives a gift certificate for a new pair of shoes.
DARE CHALLENGE Employees can challenge each other to do or wear certain things around the office. A dare costs $10 to the person challenging a colleague and the colleague can opt out of the dare for an additional $10. Dares can include wearing a disliked sport team’s jersey, greeting everyone at the door as they arrive at the office, pushing their desk chair around the office all day, assigning a manager a task, ending every conversation with “and please support the JA Bowl-a-Thon,” etc. All dares can be performed in one fun day at the office. Personalize the dares for your office! All proceeds benefit JA.
JAIL This is a big hit. You can build a jail in your lobby and staff/students pay to have staff/students placed in jail. New rule – no phones, laptops, iPods, Blackberries, etc. The prisoner can be made to paint pictures during their incarceration or any other silly duty during their time in jail.
SWIMMING POOL Set up a child’s swimming pool in your campus lobby. Staff and students are encouraged to contribute their coins to “make a big change in the life of a Junior Achiever”.
PIE IN THE FACE For a fundraising incentive sell tickets to the students to watch the top fundraising bowler pie your Principal in the face or even sell tickets to employees and have a drawing awarding the chance to a lucky winner!
“YOU HAVE BEEN GREENED” Anonymously “decorate” an unsuspecting staff members office/classroom from top to bottom with JA green. Then leave a “ransom” note that the décor can be removed and relocated to another office of their choice for a $25 fee.
CASUAL DAYS/JEAN DAYS Create several casual days or jeans day for all employees with a fee of $10-$20 to participate. We can even provide “We love JA stickers”.
SELL FRONT ROW PARKING to the highest bidder in an auction! How many of us would love to have that prime reserved parking spot close to the entrance at work that usually reserved for administration? Wouldn’t it be great to sell off that spot for a week with the proceeds benefiting Junior Achievement?
REGISTRATION FEE PAID BY CAMPUS OR PTA/PTO Many Campuses PTA/PTO will pay the $20.00 per bowler registration or make a donation to the Bowl-a-thon on behalf of Junior Achievement.
CAR WASH Get out and wash cars one afternoon for donations. Maybe your team can compete with another team and the losing team can wash the winners’ cars.
GARAGE SALE Hold a school-wide garage sale.
