  • Ask company employees to give up coffee for a week/or day with money that would have been spent on coffee being donated to HeartKids.
  • Coin trail – Ask your local school or preschool if they would do a mufti day or gold coin trail. Kids would bring in a gold coin which would be placed on the ground to make a trail/snake or even a giant heart.

  • A breakfast/lunch with a guest speaker – if you know of someone who would be a popular guest speaker in your community, approach your local club or restaurant and organise a lunch that they could speak at. Ask a bottle shop to donate the alcohol for the lunch, you could possibly auction a prize or hold a raffle at the lunch as well.
  • A scrabble competition! – Approach your local bar/ club to host a scrabble competition. The competition could be held with pairs competing for the honour of Best scrabble player for the region.
