Fundraise For DCA
Fundraising for us can make a big difference to deaf and hard of hearing children! Below are some ways you can raise money for DCA and some of the amazing efforts our fundraisers have made.
If you have a great idea for fundraising, please get in touch so we can support you in your efforts.
For Schools
Schools instil values in children and inspire them to become better – every day. Children’s learning and experience in schools can have a lasting impact on their mental, emotional, social, and physical well-being. When schools provide opportunities for children to interact and understand the needs of society, it can nurture empathy, humility, and care. It is this collective culture of school that makes it possible to create and magnify their impact – every year!
If you’re a school, here’s some fundraising ideas you could do:
- Host a casual or fancy-dress day
- Organise a Giving Day on annual school events
- Have a “For You” jar
- Organise a tour of DCA’s historic Bluestone or host an event there
Bona Vista Primary School’s Denim Day Fundraiser
Bona Vista Primary School is a small school with 30 students with big hearts. They raised funds for DCA by having a ‘Denim Day’ where they had to bring a gold coin donation and ran a raffle.
The students are very passionate about helping the community. As they have a classmate who is hard of hearing, and they’ve been learning Auslan, they felt that this time they would like to raise money for Deaf Children Australia.
