Personal fundraising
Set up a fundraiser on your own or with your family, friends or community! Here are some ideas:
Birthday HERO
Ask your friends and family to make a donation to the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation instead of bringing a gift for your birthday!
Fun sale
Use your creativity to organize a (bake, art, jewellery, pizza, popcorn, etc.) sale!
Host a walk/run/swim/dance Is there a special activity you love doing? Host an event!
Lemonade or hot chocolate stand Help your neighbours cool down or warm up, depending on the season!
Car wash Gather the soap, sponges and hoses and have a blast cleaning cars!
Garage sale They say one kid’s junk is another kid’s treasure ... clean out your room and sell any books and toys you don’t use anymore!
Head shave Do you know someone who lost their hair while going through cancer treatment? Show your support and organize a group to shave their heads!
Toy or book drive Collect brand new toys and/or books that can be used as special gifts for kids in the hospital throughout the year!
Shovel driveways or sidewalks Your neighbours would appreciate a hand and you can raise money while helping them out!

School fundraising
Organize a fundraiser at your school and then get everyone involved! Here are some ideas:
“A-thon” Host a 24-hour activity where donations and registration fees help the hospital. For example, a Bike-a-thon, Dance-a-thon, Walk-a-thon, etc. (toolkit available)!
Fun sale Find something lots of kids could help with and sell items to help the hospital (bake, jewellery, art, book, recipe sales, etc.)!
Theme day Charge students a dollar each to dress in a theme for the day (hat, pajama, jersey, ugly sweater, wacky hair, or beach day)!
School BBQ Get local grocery stores to donate food or have families at your school sign up to bring burgers or hot dogs!
Dance/talent show Gather your classmates or youth group and put your talents on display! Charge admission for family, friends or peers to come enjoy a night of entertainment!
Head shave Do you know someone who lost their hair while going through cancer treatment? Show your support and organize a group to shave their heads!
Haunted house Create a spooky fun house at your school with entry by donation!
