Fundraising Ideas
For Cafes
Create a fairy bread-themed menu, and a portion of the sales can be donated to The Pyjama Foundation. Previously, cafes featured fairy bread cookies, pastries, and even themed drinks! You can also encourage gold coin donations or set up an online giving option to spread kindness with every bite.
For Workplaces and Schools
Morning Tea Fundraiser:
Host a fairy bread-themed morning tea and invite guests to donate to join in. This sweet and simple event is a fun way to raise funds while celebrating kindness and connection.
Sprinkle Challenge:
Get creative with fairy bread designs and challenge friends, colleagues, or students to make the most imaginative slice! From rainbow patterns to smiley faces, it’s a colourful and artistic way to raise awareness and donations.
Bake Sale:
A bake sale is fun and easy to raise funds while sprinkling kindness. Supporters can bake and sell fairy bread-inspired treats (for example, slices, cupcakes, or cookies) at school, work, or in the community.
At Home
Host your Fairy Bread Day at home with classic fairy bread, pancakes by the pool, fairy toast, or fairy bread sticks. Organise a backyard picnic or kitchen party and make it a moment of joy and giving with family and friends. You can even sell some treats to your neighbors to make a bigger difference.
After Your Fairy Bread Day
Share your impact
Once your Fairy Bread Day activity wraps up, celebrate the impact you’ve made! Share photos, stories, and fundraising results with your community. Every effort helps empower children in care and change the direction of their lives.
Say thank you
