At School

• Sell raffle tickets to faculty and staff. Prizes could be a gift card donated by a local restaurant or an extra vacation day.

• Talk to a local restaurant about holding a profit share night. Ask for 15% of the night’s profits and promote the event at school. Mail in the donations with a completed Dress in Blue Day program fundraising form. Be sure to add your event to the CCA’s Blue Star Calendar.

• Put together a blue costume contest to see who can be the most creative! You may charge a $10 fee to enter the contest or collect donations as votes (for example: $5 = 1 vote). Contestants must wear blue to be eligible. Take a picture, and send it to us!

• Hold a lunch & learn for faculty and staff. Invite a local gastroenterologist to speak briefly (20 minutes) about colon cancer and screening methods or give your own presentation using our Colon Cancer Awareness Speaker Kit. Afterwards, play colon cancer trivia and award prizes to the employees who remember what they learned. Talk to Human Resources about promoting the event and possibly providing lunch for employees who attend.

• Distribute Dress in Blue Day program stickers and colon cancer fact sheets at your school on Dress in Blue Day. Order materials online from the Colon Cancer Alliance.

• Ask everyone wearing blue (denim counts) to your school’s sporting event (football, baseball, basketball) to donate an extra $5 for colon cancer patients, and give them a Dress in Blue Day program sticker for their contribution.

• Ask your school’s art club or art classes to design artwork and advertisements for Dress in Blue Day to post around the school and promote awareness. Take a picture, and send it to us.

• Host a car wash. Make sure everyone wears blue. Fill out a Dress in Blue Day program fundraising form and send in the money you raised. Be sure to add your event to the CCA’s Blue Star Calendar.
