Design a bra competition!
Teachers from St Joseph's Catholic Combined School arranged a fundraising event in school. They set the children a competition of designing their bras (referring to them as a bikini top)! They gave them an outline of the bra and charged 50p per entry. They gave prizes to the top three designs and made the winning one. The challenge was set to the families, so as not to alienate the boys from the competition. It was something different from the usual mufti days and cake sales held in schools and got all the children thinking (from reception to Year 6), about the issues of what they were raising money for. They raised £135.00 from the event (and had a fab design for the bra!)
Pink Day!
Staff at Marks and Spencer in Tolworth held a “Pink Day”, staff all dressed in pink and pink balloons were put on every till point. Percy Pig walked around all day with a pink bucket which is where most of the money was raised. The day was a great success and raised £569!
