If you are looking for unusual fundraisers and a unique fundraising opportunity, then the people at Deer Creek High School have provided us with a wonderful solution. The week of March 10, 2008 the students and teachers of Deer Creak held their annual Wonderful Week of Fundraising to raise money for Ally’s House, which helps families of children with cancer.
Their goal was to raise $26,000 and instead with the unique fundraisers and fundraising events they raised $47,245. To raise this amount for such a great cause, the school held a teacher “ugly dress” beauty pageant. This even allowed some of the teachers to show some of their other talents such as their Science teacher reading “Three Pigs” from the wolf’s perspective while showing his chemistry prowess with flammable gasses. The Spanish teacher performed a dance routine with other students and played some cowbells.
To also support the cause, the English teacher sold T-shirts and held auctions in her classroom.
Great job to Deer Creek High School for their ugly dress beauty pageant, lip-syncing, and stand up comedy acts to raise money for Ally’s House!
