Free the Children

How's your fundraiser going at your school? Credenda students are trying to raise money for this wonderful charity to build schools and community resources. Students have tons of ideas of how to raise money. If you need more ideas check out this site, http://www.fundraising-ideas.org/DIY/. It's so tragic what's going on in those countries. Children are working way harder then they should. Some of the children work harder then adults in Canada do. Can you imagine how ruined their tiny bodies must be. Thousands are living in poverty. Those children deserve so much. Compared to us they have so little while we're sitting here living the life of Ryley. We think we have it hard, but we don't take the time to think about what their going through.

Credenda students have also come up with the idea of having an online auction. Students can post things on a site that's been made and then bids can be placed. Each school will set their own goal of how much money they want to raise. If you do raise money you can mail a cheque to Credenda.

In order to get the money from you to the charity we're asking to have a cheque wrote addressed to Credenda Virtual High school Charity.
You can send them to:
PO Box, 2950
Prince Albert SK,

  1. Our youth group in Meadow Lake held a fundraiser for Free the Children called
    I am Silent. We were silent for 24 hours at school and everywhere we went. We wore signs saying "I am Silent" We raised about $500.00

  2. We held a "no-uniform day" at our school. We charged students (well, their parents) $5 so they don't have to wear their uniform for a whole day. We ran it for 5 days and we raised more than a thousand dollars.

    Found the strategy on this list of school fundraising ideas
