We all remember doing a standard school fun run! A great way to encourage physical activity, the added incentive of bonus prizes and extra inclusions make a school fun run a favourite of all ages. Standard fun runs are the easiest on the market, with minimal organisation and our flexible online fundraising platform.

Australian Fundraising’s school fun run can be adapted to suit any type of A-thon. Perhaps add a fundraising element to your annual sports event, a Lap-A-Thon or Walk-A-Thon. Or why not use our fundraising support to host a Spell-A-Thon. The opportunities are endless! McDowall State School used our standard school fun run to host a Spell-A-Thon and raised $80,000 over two events.

Forget the days of time consuming fundraisers, logistical nightmares and paperwork galore. Our standard school fun run is designed to put the fun back into fundraising!

Australian Fundraising have been making fundraising successful and stress-free by doing the heavy lifting for fundraising committees like yours. We can help you take your fundraising profits to new heights.

Although our online platform is the ultimate fundraising tool, the real results are generated by fundraising heroes. People who are committee members, just like yourself, and the generosity of your school community. We’ve helped raise nearly $200 million for schools and organisations since 1999. We promise that you are in good hands!

We Innovate to Motivate

Add excitement and boost participation with our innovative selection of incentive prizes! Our huge range of popular toys and gadgets reward participants for fundraising, motivating them to reach their fundraising goal.

Offering more prizes across every fundraising milestone, students only need to raise $10 to receive a prize! From squish balls to electronics, every participant will aim for prizes they love.

Students will aim for bigger prizes, sharing in $200,000 of free extra prize credit! Collect Golden Coins on our online platform and claim them for real-life prize credit. Incentive prizes are an incredible way to motivate students and families to fundraise! They add an additional level of excitement and anticipation that is separate to your event day.

Bigger and better prizes are just the beginning with Australian Fundraising.

Care for a Cause – Care Today, Change Tomorrow!

Choosing to support six amazing causes instead of pursuing incentive prizes reflects a deep commitment to purpose and community. It’s driven by a genuine desire to make a positive impact to communities and the environment throughout Australia. Growing on the success of our Go Green fundraisers, Australian Fundraising now offers an exclusive opportunity to support five remarkable organisations and create a lasting impact with our Monty the Monstar Fun Run fundraiser.

Best of all, you can let families decide whether they want prizes or to donate independently when you choose the Traditional Prize Option.

Here’s how you can make a difference:

  • Help BRIGHTEN the lives of sick kids and make hospital a bit more FUN through the Starlight Children’s Foundation
  • Reduce food waste and help feed vulnerable people in need with OzHarvest
  • You can choose to support The Great Barrier Reef Foundation who will plant one coral to help save our Reef and its marine life for future generations, or you can support the work being done to help protect the turtles.
  • Make a difference to one of our country’s most valuable yet devastated ecosystems when you plant trees with Carbon Neutral.
  • Take a stand against bullying with Dolly’s Dream, to act as a voice for those who cannot speak for themselves and spread kindness to create a sense of togetherness and community.

How to book

If you’d like to raise funds for your school and actively make a difference to the environment and your community, book your chosen Monty the Monstar Fun Run and select the ‘Traditional‘ prize option.

Incentive prizes are an incredible way to motivate students and families to fundraise! They add an additional level of excitement and anticipation that is separate to your event day. Additionally, some families would prefer to donate to a worthy charity rather than receive prizes. When you choose to do the Traditional Prize Option, they can do just that. Once they have completed the fundraiser, any funds that they would be able to spend on prizes they can elect to direct these funds to one of five environmental or community-based charitable causes.

Students can also share in $200,000 of free sponsorship credit by reaching milestones online.
