Honestly? Way less than you think! Unlike other fundraisers that dump everything on your plate, School Fun Run does the heavy lifting for you. You get a dedicated Fundraising Coach who handles all the tricky stuff, plus our Ready Set Go Kit packed with everything you need - promotional materials, planning guides, student rewards, 100g of colour powder per student, slime and slime pools!

Your main job is simply coordinating with your school community and watching the funds roll in. Most coordinators are amazed at how smooth and stress-free the whole process is. We've spent 39 years perfecting this system so you don't have to figure it out from scratch.

Great question! With School Fun Run, there are zero upfront costs and your event is 100% self-funding. At the end of your event, 60% of your fundraising is kept by you (or your school) as pure cash profit. The other 40%+GST is our service fee, which covers everything we give you to make your event as successful as possible.

That 40%+GST fee seems like a lot, but when you see everything that it includes, you’ll realise it’s actually incredible value. You're not just paying for the prizes at the end of the event - this fee gets you a complete end-to-end fundraising system, including:

✓ Your personal Fundraising Coach who does all of the heavy lifting so you don’t have to

✓ A professional - and safe - online fundrasing platform with secure payment processing

✓ A free Ready Set Go Kit with 100g of colour powder per student, slime and slime pools! Promotional materials and a whole lot more!

✓ $150,000 worth of student prizes and rewards

✓ All marketing materials, planning guides, and admin tools

✓ 38 years of fundraising expertise backing your success

We only succeed when you do, which is why we're so committed to making your Fun Run wildly successful!

Sure, you could organise the whole event by yourself and “save” that 40%*GST, but as a volunteer, your time is both precious and limited. Our fee is the difference between struggling with a DIY fundraiser and running a professional, stress-free event that actually works!

Plus, with the support of fundraising pros who do this day-in and day-out, most schools find they raise significantly more than they ever could solo - meaning your 60% profit often far exceeds what 100% of a smaller DIY event would deliver!

We specialise in three epic fundraising events that turn ordinary school days into unforgettable community celebrations:

🎪 The Big Show - Our premium experience featuring massive 6-metre inflatable Cheetah run-throughs, Chase the Cheetah mascot, professional setup crew, and PA system. Available in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast (limited to one per day, per state - so book fast!).

🌈 Crazy Colour Day - Our most popular event! Transform your students into "running rainbows of happiness" with 100g of vibrant, non-toxic colour powder per student! Perfect for any school, any day you choose.

💧 Splash & Dash - Our summer sensation! Remember running through sprinklers as a kid? Picture that with your whole school community! Includes water blasters, sprinklers, slime pools, bubble wands, and colour concentrate to dye the water. You just add the H2O!

All three events include:

• Your personal Fundraising Coach

• Complete Ready Set Go Kit with everything needed

• Secure online fundraising platform

• Student rewards for anyone raising $10+

• Zero upfront costs - you only pay our 40% service fee from what you raise

Each event can be customised to your school's needs and held during school hours for maximum participation. Whether you want inflatables, colours, or water fun - we've got the perfect fundraising solution for your school community!

Great news - our colour powder is designed to be temporary and safe! Here's what you need to know:

For Playgrounds & Surfaces: Our colour powder is completely biodegradable and environmentally friendly, so it won't permanently stain your playground equipment or surfaces. It's made from high-quality corn starch with food-grade vegetable dyes - the same ingredients used in food colouring! Rain and regular cleaning will wash it away naturally.

For Clothes: Most colour will wash out with regular washing, though we always recommend wearing old clothes or white shirts that families don't mind getting colourful! Some vibrant colours might leave a slight tint on fabric, which is why we suggest treating it as part of the fun memory rather than expecting clothes to return to their original state.

Safety First:

✓ Non-toxic and skin-safe

✓ Gluten-free and celiac-safe ✓ Made from food-grade corn starch (not chalk or paint!)

✓ Completely safe for children, animals, and the environment

✓ Talc-free formulation

We're happy to provide a Material Safety Data Sheet and Environmental Impact Statement so you can see exactly what's in our powder. When parents know it's the same food-grade ingredients used in birthday cake icing, they feel much more comfortable about the whole experience!

Your Ready Set Go Kit is basically a treasure chest of everything you need to run an epic School Fun Run - and it's completely FREE when you book an event with us!
