This is a great fundraiser
for children! Children can participate in helping their church grow
and learn the importance of daily physical activity. "Jump for Jesus"
will be a positive experience for the children while they contribute to
their church.
| -Once the date, time, and
location for your Jump for Jesus church fundraiser has been picked, allow students 6-8
weeks to collect contributions/donations from friends and family. |
| -Remind children to dress
comfortably. |
| -Make sure you have a
registered nurse on hand in case of injury or illness. |
| -Have plenty of water on
hand. |
| -Have a warm up and
stretch session before hand, and a cool-down session when the jumping
is done. |
| -Students who are not
able to jump can participate by working the drink station, or helping
with timing/counting. |
| -Have plenty of extra
jump ropes on hand. |
| -Have plenty of adult
help to supervise areas and stations at your event. Get the whole
church family involved! |
Make the event extra special fun! Have
upbeat music playing softly in the background. Have healthy snacks
available for the end of the event. Get T-shirts made up saying "I jump
for Jesus" and hand them out to everyone afterwards. Or give the
T-shirts as incentives for the most contributions, or jumps, etc... To
make your event more organized, have all helpers wear an "I jump for
Jesus" T-shirt. This will let each child and parent know who
is a helper at the event.
You can collect donations by the jump, by
the time the child spent jumping, or just by a money amount that perhaps
the donator wanted to give. Don't forget to let your contributors know
where the money from this fundraiser is going to. Perhaps put it on the
sheet you make up for list of donations. Make signs to post around the
area you are holding the event too.
