Ways to Raise Funds - Friends & Family Challenge
The SCRABBLE® Friends and Family Challenge is a Frontier College fundraising event. The money you raise by playing SCRABBLE® in your home can make a difference for literacy. While there is no minimum fundraising amount to participate in the event, we encourage all hosts and participants to set a personal fundraising goal.
We would suggest that individuals contribute $25, $50, $100, $500 or even more per game for the honour of playing SCRABBLE® and raising money for literacy.
Fundraising Tips
Fundraising makes a difference in generating critically important dollars that support Frontier College literacy programs across Canada.
If each person contributes $25, $50, $100, $500 or more, thousands of dollars will be raised for our literacy programs that help children, youth and adults to improve their literacy skills.
Start early. Do a little fundraising every week. It adds up.
- Keep a print version of the donation form in your purse or pocket. When you go for lunch with friends or to your book club, ask friends to join your party. Sign them up right there and then. Ask them to donate a set amount of $25, $50, $100, $500 or more.
- Start a spare change box. Put your extra coins in the box. You will be surprised at how fast the money adds up.
- Add a line on the bottom of e-mails letting people know you are playing SCRABBLE® to raise funds for Frontier College. Include the link to the website so it’s easy for people to click on it and make a donation or host their own party.
- Ask your family, friends and co-workers to donate to your SCRABBLE® party. Use the online tool if they live outside of your city. People donate when you ask them.
- Once you have completed your online registration, use the online tool to send an e-mail to everyone you know asking them to join your party and make a donation of $25, $50, $100, $500 or more for the privilege of playing SCRABBLE® at your party.
