Fun Father’s Day Fundraisers

Fun Father’s Day Fundraisers

With the warmer months of May and June providing the perfect backdrop for outdoor events, it’s a great time to get creative with your fundraising efforts and raise funds for your cause, like a new school canopy or new school stationery. Whether you’re planning something special for Father’s Day or simply looking for fun ways to bring your school community together, these ideas are designed to boost engagement and your fundraising total. From memorable father-son campouts to lively beer festivals, there’s something for everyone to enjoy while supporting your school. Keep reading for inspiration that turns events into lasting memories.

Father & Son Campout

A father and son campout is a memorable and engaging way to bring families together while raising funds for your school. It’s the perfect mix of fun, bonding, and outdoor adventure. Male pupils and their dads can purchase tickets for the overnight event, typically priced between £10 to £20 depending on what’s included. Providing an evening meal and breakfast as part of the ticket adds great value and enhances the experience.

Plan for campers to arrive around 4pm, giving them plenty of time to pitch their tents and settle in before dinner. To create a true camping atmosphere, you could organise activities like assault courses, traditional outdoor games, and storytelling sessions around a campfire. It’s a fantastic way to build connections while supporting a good cause.

Father’s Day Sponsored Football Match

Football is a favourite for many dads, so why not host a Father’s Day match to raise money for your school? Invite dads to form teams and play while spectators and family, friends, and the wider school community can purchase tickets to cheer them on. If you run this annually, it could become a beloved school tradition, with returning players year after year.

To boost your fundraising, consider offering refreshments such as a BBQ or a hog roast and, if your licensing permits, a beer tent for the grown-ups. It’s a great way to bring the community together and enjoy a friendly, competitive day out.

School Beer Festival

A beer festival is a brilliant fundraising event for the summer months, especially when held on a school field or local green space. With the right promotion, you can attract attendees from both your school community and further afield.

Approach local breweries, cider makers, and pubs to see if they’d like to host a stall at your event. Let them know what the fundraiser supports and how you plan to promote it. You could also run your own stalls, selling soft drinks, BBQ food, and snacks, as well as offer activities for children like face painting, bouncy castles, and small fairground rides.

Live music adds to the atmosphere, making your beer festival a family-friendly celebration that’s sure to draw a crowd and raise substantial funds for your school.
