Schools & Education
Schools are vital in helping us to raise awareness and funds so that we can support the next teenager who comes to us for help.
The Tom Bowdidge Youth Cancer Foundation likes working with schools, colleges and universities. It is important to share about of our life saving work, spread awareness about cancers affecting young people and how your school can help with fundraising.
We visit schools to talk about our work and the signs and symptoms of cancer in young people and the importance of getting things checked.
If you would like us to visit your school for an assembly please drop us an email [email protected]
There are many ways in which you can fundraise and get involved, below are just a few of the ideas.
- Dress Down Day – come to school dressed from head to toe in pink or blue to support Teenage and Young Adults Cancer Awareness Month in April.
- Baking competition/sale – get students to bake a cake based on a pink and blue theme and give a prize to the winner and then sell off the cakes.
- Pie or Wet Sponge the Teacher Day – well I’m sure some students would be up for throwing a few cream pies or wet sponges at the teachers. Charge a small fee for allowing them to have a go.
- Game-a-thon – hold a 12-hour game-a-thon with your class or group of friends.
- Sports Challenges – dress in your best hero’s costume or football idle and hold a football tournament.
- Santa Fun Run – hold a 5K run around the school playing field and get your family and friends to sponsor you.
- Summer or Winter Fayre– organise a Summer or Christmas Fayre and invite various stall holders along.
