Monty the Monstar Fun Run vs Other Fun Runs

What Makes Ours the Most Fun AND the Safest?

Why More Schools Are Choosing Monty the Monstar Fun Run

When it comes to school fundraising events, there’s a whole playground of options out there. But not all fun runs are created equal. Some may offer a splash of colour and a smile for the camera, but leave schools dealing with big invoices, limited support, and next to no safety considerations.  With Monty the Monstar Fun Run you can rewrite the rules of what a school fundraiser can and should be: fun, safe, rewarding, and above all inclusive for every student.

So how does Monty really stack up against the rest? Let’s take a look.

Safety First: Because No-one Wants Powder In Their Eyes

While other fun runs might toss colour powder into the air without a second thought, we’ve thought carefully about the little things that make a big difference, especially when it comes to your child’s safety.

That’s why every student gets a FREE pair of UV400 rainbow sunglasses, and FREE rainbow headband. Even if they haven’t raised a cent. These aren’t just a stylish souvenir (though they do look pretty cool). They’re our way of ensuring all students can participate safely, with the sunglasses providing appropriate eye protection during the run.

And speaking of safety, our online fundraising platform is ST4S-certified, meaning it meets the highest digital safety standards for primary school students. No names, no photos, no public profiles. Just a safe, secure, and cyber-smart way to fundraise.

No Invoices, No Surprises

If you’ve ever run a school fundraiser before, you know the dread that comes with the phrase “invoice due at the end.” With Monty the Monstar Fun Run, that worry vanishes faster than a cake at a bake sale.

We send your fundraising profit to you every two weeks, so there’s full transparency and no sticker shock waiting at the finish line. Your P&C treasurer will be high fiving themselves for choosing a fundraising program that actually makes money stress-free.

Motivate Kids and Maximise Funds with Gamified Fundraising

Kids today are digital natives. They thrive on visual rewards, instant feedback, and a little friendly competition. That’s why we’ve turned fundraising into an engaging, gamified experience through each student’s personal “My Profile Page.”

As they raise funds, they unlock colourful badges, Monty Coins, and milestone celebrations. It’s fun, it’s motivating, and it taps into the same psychology that makes them want to collect every badge on their favourite app. except this time, it’s raising money for their school.

And yes, they can even customise their page with their very own avatars. It’s theirs to own, share, and celebrate.

Bigger Bang for Your Fundraising Buck

Let’s talk value, because with Monty, you’re not just getting colour powder and a participation ribbon. Every student receives sunglasses and a headband (again, regardless of fundraising). Coordinators receive a fully stocked promotion kit: pre-written announcements, posters, emails, social media templates, and expert advice. Plus, for schools that run more than one event in a year, we offer a generous cashback incentive that gives you even more funds for your efforts.

In short: we give you more product, more promotional resources, more flexibility—and more funds back.

More Fun, Less FOMO

Not every child is able to raise funds, and we believe that shouldn’t be a barrier to participating in the most exciting day of the school year. That’s why Monty the Monstar Fun Run is fully inclusive. Every child gets the safety gear. Every child gets to run. Every child gets to feel part of something joyful. It’s about building community and creating memories, not excluding anyone based on their fundraising total. And let’s be honest – there’s nothing like seeing kids in white shirts transform into walking rainbows by lunchtime.
