Throwing wet sponges and cream pies at teachers: Crofton School’s Fundraising Story
Posted 8 years ago in the A big thank you, Schools and educational supporters, Volunteers and fundraisers categories
Students and teachers of Crofton School in Stubbington have raised an amazing £600 for us.
Crofton School in Stubbington, Hampshire, have been busy hosting a variety of fun events to raise much needed funds for Canine Partners during their Charity Week.
The students even had the chance to throw wet sponges and cream pies at their teachers – all in the name of fundraising! Other activities the students have got up to include an open mic night, a night at the musicals and a non school uniform day.
What’s more, many sweets and cakes have been purchased and consumed to help transform the lives of people living with physical disabilities. Dogs Sula and Tina have even managed to pop by the school – much to the delight of students and staff alike. The dogs loved all of the strokes and attention, of course!
The school managed to raise a fantastic £600, and have also committed to continue raising money for us in the future. We are absolutely delighted, and cannot wait to see what other fun things they have planned.
Amanda Knight, Senior Assistant Headteacher at the school said:
“I am very proud of the fundraising efforts made by all of our students during charity week, most of the events are fully organised by our young people. I am so pleased that we are able to build on our links with this wonderful charity and support the work it does.
I would like to thank volunteer Bev in particular for all the support she gives the school – and of course your amazing dogs and trainers. We look forward to our continued partnership in the New Year”.
A big well done to all the staff and students at Crofton School – the money you have donated will help to support our dogs in their training to become amazing assistance dogs.
