STARSCHOOL FOR STARSHIP CHALLENGE – is your school a Star yet?

What’s it all about?
 
With nearly 100,000 children from all over New Zealand admitted to Starship each year, there’s a good chance someone from your school is an ex-patient, current patient or may need Starship in the future.
 
 
 
Why take up the challenge?
 
In our world, children are our stars.  But even stars need other stars to make them shine.  That's why Starship invites your school to hold a 'star-riffic' fundraising event of your choice to help other children less fortunate.  If your school takes up the challenge, we'll display your school in our 2009 Galaxy of Stars on the website and in the Atrium at Starship Children's Hospital.
 
How much do we need to raise?
 
 
How much your school can raise will determine what kind of star you will be in our Galaxy:
 

Star $100 - $499

Super Star $500 - $999

Mega Star $1,000+
Want to get started?
 
Follow our five easy steps to get your school started:
 
1. Think of an idea: we've got heaps of school fun-raiser ideas to help you.  If you come up with a good idea we'd love you to share it with us. 
 
2. Register with Starship: just complete our Registration Form and you will receive an endorsement email from Starship.
 
 
3. Let people know: you need to publicise your event around school.  We can send you balloons and stickers to get you on your way.
 
4. Hold your event or do your activity and HAVE FUN!
 
5. Collect up your money and send it in: please make your cheque out to Starship Foundation or download our paying in form and post to:
