School fundraisers
When your school hosts a fundraiser in support of the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, your students will become Stollery Superstars as they help to give all kids the best chance to live a long and healthy life.
Your school can make a difference in the lives of thousands of Stollery kids and their families from backyards across Alberta
Not only will your students learn the importance of giving back, but they’ll also become Stollery Superstars — joining an inspiring group of kids and teens from all over Alberta who have raised more than $1.8 million dollars in support of the Stollery since 2016.
Your school can help transform children’s health care in Alberta and beyond!
Ways your school can get involved
Plan a bike-a-thon, auction, dance party, art sale, talent show, bake sale, fun run or walk. The sky’s the limit on what kind of fundraiser you host — and we can support you any time of the year!
Here are a few more ideas:
It’s time for your class to get physical!
Each student sets their own personal physical activity goals, such as going on a 20 minute walk every day for 20 days. Over the weeks, they’ll collect pledges and support Stollery kids while boosting their own physical health.
- Your school’s top three fundraisers will win a Stollery drawstring backpack.
- If your school raises over $1,500, the top fundraising class wins Pizza Hut vouchers.
- And if your school raises $5,000 or more the top fundraising class wins a pizza party and a special visit from our mascot, Dr. PatchUp*.
Take a look — it’s in a book!
Encourage a love of reading and philanthropy with your students this year with our read-a-thon challenge! Each student sets their own reading goals, such as reading for 20 minutes a day for 30 days. Over the weeks, they’ll collect pledges and support Stollery kids while boosting their literacy.
- Your school’s top three fundraisers will win a Stollery drawstring backpack.
- If your school raises over $1,500, the top fundraising class wins Pizza Hut vouchers.
- And if your school raises $5,000 or more the top fundraising class wins a pizza party and a special visit from our mascot, Dr. PatchUp*.
