Story

MY DAD STARTED SCHOOL FUN RUN IN 1987. SINCE THEN WE’VE COME A LONG WAY, BUT ONE THING THAT HAS NOT CHANGED ARE OUR GOALS TO: REMOVE YOUR FUNDRAISING STRESS, MAKE THE EXPERIENCE FUN & MEMORABLE FOR YOUR COMMUNITY AND WILDLY PROFITABLE FOR YOUR SCHOOL.

WE HAVE ALWAYS AIMED TO DO THESE THREE THINGS WELL. ACHIEVING THESE GOALS IS PARAMOUNT TO US BECAUSE EVERYONE WHO HOSTS A SCHOOL FUN RUN SHARES ONE COMMONALITY… THEY ALL WANT TO MAKE SCHOOL-LIFE THE BEST IT CAN BE FOR THEIR KIDS! WE’RE TOTALLY DOWN FOR THAT!

But here’s the thing, Fundraising Coordinators are normally volunteering on the P&C or P&F. It’s an extremely rewarding job, but it’s very important to get the right fundraiser going. One that makes EVERYBODY happy. In truth, we know that many Fundraising Coordinators don’t have a lot of fundraising experience. So, the one big thing holding some fundraising committees back from newfound fundraising success is the risk of looking bad if they change the school’s ‘normal’ fundraising and it doesn’t work out for the better.

So, how do we make sure that does NOT happen to you… Firstly, we don’t focus on making you look ‘good’… we focus on turning you into a bona fide ‘fundraising superstar’.

With School Fun Run, we’ll ensure you’re fully prepared, feeling confident and excited through the entire process as our dedicated fundraising coaches are trained to make that happen for you. We are not a ‘set and forget’ kind of fundraising service. Instead, you get tailored, proactive, personal support from your Fundraising Coach the whole way through your event. We are always here for you.

They will also send you all the high-quality printed material and digital resources you need. Plus, you’ll get access to the absolute best website in School Fundraising…bar none! The big goal here is to have you feeling thrilled, elated, and accomplished after your School Fun Run. Success to us is seeing our coordinators dreaming up their next School Fun Run while enjoying the current one. We LOVE that. It means we did a great job!

With over 30 years’ experience backing every School Fun Run, this all combines to make sure you are remembered as the Parent Group who nailed your fundraising role and changed school culture forever! Achieving our goal is why we are the School Fundraising Company of the Year 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021!
