Want to take on the challenge of coming up with a way to use your aprons4action apron to fundraise with us? … The more money we raise, the more projects we can support.
Here’s a few ideas to get you started. What ever you decide to do, make sure you let us know what you did on our facebook page and how much you raised. If you’d like to set up your own fundraising page on our Mycause fundraising site, click on the fundraise with us link to find out how.
Invite your friends to an apron picnic, high tea, BBQ or dinner party. Encourage your guests to come wearing an apron. Take a photo of everyone wearing their aprons and send it to us. Send your guests the links for how to make a donation or have a laptop set up so they can do it at the party. At the end of your party pass your apron onto someone else in the group. Click on the Pinterest page link for some great party themes, drinks and food ideas.
Have a special day when people bring in an apron to wear all day at work and raise funds for one of our key project areas. Eg If you are working in the medical profession, you could raise funds for medical camps and community health training days in the village. Or an educational workplace could raise funds to send village children to college. Take lots of photos of everyone in their aprons going about their normal duties, post them on social media and let everyone know how much you raised and what it was for. Your company may even match your donations.
Own a café? Dress your wait staff in Aprons4Action aprons for a month and donate your tips or collect loose change donations. We can supply you with a set of aprons, table signs, and posters so you can let your customers know what you are fundraising for. Please email us at aprons4action@gmail.com for more details.
Similar to holding an apron party, (see above) but instead of inviting your friends to bring their own aprons, order a set of Aprons4Action exchange aprons to hand out to everyone at the party. This is a great way to do a mini apron launch in another town or state.
Challenge yourself to do a walk, triathlon, marathon, swim, climb, yacht race, bike ride or mountain bike race wearing your apron. Create a fundraising page on our website and ask your friends make a donate in support of you undertaking your challenge.
Ask a teacher or lecturer if they would be willing to wear an apron for a whole day ie. to all their classes, if the student body raises a certain amount of funds. Set a target and rally all your fellow students to make a donation.
Going overseas or on a long trip, why not take your apron with you? Take photos of your apron being worn or hanging in as many famous locations as you can. Set up a fundraising page on our Mycause site and get your friends to sponsor you and your apron on its journey.
A dinner club is a great excuse to get your friends together each month. Keep it to 6-10 people max. Ask each couple to make a small donation each time you get together. You can take turns cooking for each other or simply use it as an excuse to go out for dinner each month. You might be surprised at how much you raise by the end of the year.
Are you a keen photographer? Like the challenge of taking an everyday item and making it part of a beautiful photo series? Each day for a month, take and post an artistic photo which includes your apron somewhere in the shot. Upload your photos to our facebook page and encourage your friends to make a donation if they like what you’re doing.
Great for food bloggers and those who love to cook. Cook a meal, take a photo of you holding what you cooked with your apron on and share the recipe. Or have your apron somewhere in the shot and post it on facebook. Supply a link to our website and encourage your friends to make a donation if they enjoyed what you cooked.
Invite all your friends to make their own “Apron Art” piece and enter it in a mini “Exhibition”. They can sew their own apron, or go op-shopping and upcycle, recycle, embelish, or make it out of something extra-ordinary. Ask your friends to pay a cover charge as a donation and submit with their artwork what their inspiration was. You may end up having a giggle at what everyone comes up with. At the end of the evening give a small prize to the winner. Take lots of photos and share them with us. You can even donate the aprons to us if you can bare to part with them.
