Onesie day
A simple 'onesie day' fundraiser enables all your
supporters to take part, whatever their age. Perfect for colder
weather, supporters can stay snug while helping you raise funds -
what could be better?
Julie Kite-Lightfoot, manager, St Stephen's Church playgroup,
Birmingham:
'My youngest daughter has autism as well as other disabilities.
When a friend mentioned a onesie day fundraiser she'd heard about,
I decided to do it at the playgroup I run. The main aim was to
raise awareness that it's ok to be different. We invited
parents, carers, volunteers and teachers to wear their onesies
or pyjamas - as well as the children. Everyone had a letter
educating them about autism, and we spoke to the children in
small groups. It helped everyone understand that they should
support people with additional needs. We were overwhelmed with the
response - about 100 babies, toddlers, children and adults wore
their onesies! We held a cake sale and people also made
donations. We raised £55, which we took to a local autism charity
shop.'
