A time honored sports fundraiser is selling stuff at sporting events. Snacks, drinks, trinkets and water bottles are frequent choices. For the younger set, however, there is a huge need for first aid supplies!

Kids are getting into sports at preschool ages now, and accidents happen. Scrapes, bruises, cuts and jammed fingers or toes are common. Often there isn’t ready access to supplies to take care of the kids!

green fundraising idea

Check out your local pharmacy and see if they would be willing to donate some basic first aid stuff. A local dollar store might be willing to chip in plastic boxes and baby washcloths, and you can hit up the craft store for some extra supplies.

A boo-boo bunny is guarantee to dry tears and bring a smile to little faces! All you have to do is roll the washcloth diagonally, fold it in half and double the loose ends back over.

Fasten with a covered ponytail holder, and add googly eyes, pom-pom nose and tail, and a ribbon around the neck if desired. The boo-boo bunny holds an ice cube in the middle, and soothes bumps and bruises in a fun way!

Large ice cubes can be taken to the event in a small cooler, or even plastic reusable cubes can be found in some cases. In addition to the boo-boo bunny, add a variety of Band-Aids, antibiotic cream or spray and alcohol wipes to your first aid kits. You can easily sell these for $5 each, ice cube included, and your profits will be nearly 100% if you manage to get most of the supplies donated!

This is a clean and green fundraiser, and can make your next little tyke’s sport event a fundraising success!
