Encourage your students to register Online
Donating online is easy, fast and paperless! If your school is registered, you will have received a fundraising link for your school. Simply share your school’s link with your school community by posting it on your school website, emails, and social media. You can even get students involved by encouraging them to set up their own fundraising page under your school name. The more you share, the more funds you can raise for cancer research!

Set a Fundraising Goal
Terry Fox loved setting goals for himself, both in school and in the athletic arena. Your students are the same. Use your Terry Fox Run as an opportunity to talk about setting goals, both personally and school-wide. A school fundraising goal gives everyone the motivation to work together as a team with a clear and exciting objective. Celebrate with your students every day as your numbers inch closer to your goal!
Use Pledge Sheets
Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope was all about effort. He travelled city to city, town to town, asking people to make a donation that could help change the world. Your students can too by using your school pledge sheet. Encourage them to make their best effort to fill it up by asking parents, grandparents, neighbours, hockey coach, maybe even their dentist. Give them the courage to make the ask and the donations will follow!
