Fundraising
the Healthy
Way
When planning a fundraiser for the breakfast club, schools are encouraged to choose
only healthy fundraising initiatives. This allows the school to send a strong, consistent
health message to students and reinforces the values taught every morning at the
breakfast club.
The following are 10 fantastic fundraiser ideas collected from schools across Canada:

Breakfast
Day
Invite members of the school community to have breakfast with the
students in exchange for a small fee or a donation.
Make homemade whole wheat pancake mix from bulk ingredients. Portion
and package the ingredients into nice containers, attach recipe directions
and add a personalized message or school logo. Sell to staff, parents and
community members.
Sell garbage bags to parents, teachers and community members for $1-5
each. Once sold, students and volunteers from the breakfast club (and
anyone else who’s willing) will commit to filling that bag with garbage by
cleaning up areas around the school and/or community. Healthy Schools =
Healthy Communities.
Hold a breakfast food drive at the school and ask students to donate their
favorite breakfast item. Make sure to send a detailed list of items that
meet nutritional guidelines home with students to ensure the food being
donated meets the breakfast club’s nutritional standards. Invite parents to
get their workplace involved. You can also designate one breakfast food to
each grade, for example:
Grade 1 – Oats
Grade 2 – Fruit
Grade 3 – Yogurt
etc.

Creative
Cookbooks
Create and print a cookbook with the school’s favorite healthy recipes
and ideas from the breakfast club. Approach local businesses to purchase
advertising space in the cookbook.
