Athons

There are many ways of running an ‘athon’’ –

• Sportathon
• Spellathon
• Danceathon
• Walkathon

The ideas are endless. These events are usually held annually, so the target of beating the previous year provides even more motivation. The idea is to get sponsorship for how every many units of the ‘athon’ you complete – laps, kilometres, words, etc. There is quite a lot of organisation involved in putting together the sponsorship sheets etc, so it is worth looking around for a functioning system to replicate, rather than starting from scratch. You can do it yourself or you can have a company organise it for you. The profit returned from athons is generally very good as there is a significant fun element for the kids in competing with each other.
