Dress Down Days
Dress Down Days
A great source of revenue for any school is a free dress day. There are many variations on how you can raise money. Charge a gold coin to each child who arrives in free dress, or use the day to raise items for other events within your school – leading up to your school fete the children have to bring in specific items in return for free dress – one week it could be bottles for the bottle stall, the next it could be cake mixes for the cake stall and so on. You will find you will get a lot more donations this way than simply asking the parents to send the items in. This activity can also be used in a workplace where employees are allowed to go casual, or follow a theme for the day. Many large charities now use this method to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars Australia wide and many schools will participate in these events.
