What is a BUDDY-a-THON?
It's an exciting fundraiser to raise money for your organization while offering fun and entertainment for kids of all ages.
Earn up to 50% profit!
Participating Students earn a build their own, huggable, lovable buddy as their prize plus more!
Our "Buddy-a-Thon" was created with many of the features that make "Thons" a popular choice in today's fundraising environment. No overpriced items to sell, no money to collect and no products to deliver!
Meet Dexter! Dexter is our friendly little dragon that likes to tag along and visit the school during the live kick-offs. He loves to help explain how this awesome fundraiser works. He lives in the "Create a Plush" mobile stuffing trailer so your students will be able to interact with him on their stuffing day!
- Live Kick-off recommended but not necessary. All you need to do is send home the information about the program. That's it!
- No need to have people from Fun Services in your school to "hype up" the students and disrupt the classrooms. The reward that students earn for participating is incentive enough to have a very successful fundraiser.
- On your stuffing day, we will be at your school with our 24 foot Mobile "Create a Plush" trailer so that your students can have a wonderful experience as their new Buddy is being created!
- We also have vacuum sealed packets of stuffing if you would rather have your students stuff their Buddy at home.
How the program works:
Every student that sends at least 10 valid emails earns two fun participation prizes! The emails will invite family/friends to donate to your school for things you need. (Prizes may vary)
All students with at least $50 in donations raised will receive a Buddy! They are 16" in size, are "department store" quality and come with a Birth Certificate and a special insert. Plus get a tote bag to carry your Buddy home!
Every classroom teacher with at least 50% classroom participation receives a free Buddy of their choice!
Students can even earn outfits for their Buddy with additional donations to your school. (More outfit choices available.)
Students that raise $275+ in donations will have a Buddy donated to your local Children's Hospital in the student's name.
