Host a Fundraising Competition Between Sports Teams
Opposing high school football teams (or any sports teams or clubs) can compete to raise funds for Autism. Sports teams and clubs within the same school can also take on fundraising challenges as this is a great way to rally school spirit for a great cause. Kettle Moraine Lutheran High School’s football team hosts an annual Tackling Autism Together event to raise funds for Autism.
Making Change for Autism
Making Change for Autism is a fun educational and awareness coin/donation drive initiative specifically designed by special education teachers for schools. It invites schools to get engaged and help students make a difference all while learning how to understand Autism and be a friend to someone on the Autism Spectrum. This turnkey education campaign helps raise funds to provide community opportunities for students with Autism and their families. There are perks for the school for participating in this great campaign. This program also works great during April Autism Acceptance month! Click here to learn more.
