Why Our Monty the Monstar Fun Run is the Ultimate School Fundraiser
When you hear “school fundraiser,” do you picture groans from parents, reluctant teachers, and stressed-out coordinators? It doesn’t have to be that way. The Monty the Monstar Fun Run flips the script, turning fundraising into the highlight of the school year. It’s more than just a fun run – it’s a full-blown experience that raises serious cash while creating unforgettable memories.
Australian Fundraising’s Monty the Monstar Fun Run is the most inclusive school fundraiser in Australia. Right from the start, every student gets something special: UV400 sunglasses and a colourful headband, even if they didn’t raise a cent. That means every child feels like part of the action, not left out on the sidelines, and their eyes are protected from the colour powder.
Our super-sized incentives will help you to drive big results. This isn’t your average fun run. Monty’s Colour Fun Run comes loaded with motivators:
- A chance to win a PlayStation 5 Gaming Bundle for the top fundraiser of the year
- Entries into a massive $20,000 prize draw (one entry per $20 raised!)
- An epic “Slime the Principal” prize for top fundraisers (yes, it’s as fun as it sounds)
- As part of our Traditional Prize option, our Care For a Cause initiative allows students to donate their prize value to one of six amazing causes.
And the results speak for themselves. One school raised a staggering $91,124 in one event. Another pulled in $700 per student on average. These aren’t just coincidences – they’re proof the system works.
Best of all, our technology that drives it all is safe, secure and seriously smart. Kids today are digital natives, so why not meet them where they are? With the ST4S-accredited “My Profile Page” online platform, participants can:
- Share a custom fundraising link with family and friends anywhere in the world
- Track their progress in a gamified, motivating environment
- Fundraise with peace of mind (no photos, no searchable profiles, no data risks)
It’s simple, safe, and mobile-friendly – perfect for busy families.
As an extra bonus that delivers maximum excitement, some schools are eligible to host our Monty’s Magical Wonderland Event. This is if you want to take things next-level! Eligible schools can book Monty’s Magical Wonderland Event: a full-blown event with giant inflatables, foam cannon, and even a visit from Monty himself. And the best part? The team sets it up and packs it down. Just show up and have fun.
Our built-in support for time-poor Fundraising Coordinators makes this plug’n’play fundraiser easy to organise. Because let’s be honest – most P&C volunteers already wear too many hats. That’s why we provide:
- A personal Fundraising Expert to do the heavy lifting for you
- Printed materials and signage
- Pre-written newsletters, emails, assembly scripts, and more
- Checklists, social media templates, and every guide you could need
You don’t have to figure it out. Just follow the steps, run the event, and enjoy the results.
Our Monty the Monstar Fun Run delivers on every level. It isn’t just another fundraiser – it’s an experience that combines fun, community, and great fundraising results. Whether you’re aiming for $5,000 or $100,000, this event has everything you need to succeed – and then some.
