Promotion and Engagement

Fitzroy North Primary made use of multiple promotional channels to drive participation and donations:

• Weekly updates through school newsletters and group chats
• Regular mentions at school assemblies
• Incremental Incentives such as free ice blocks and small giveaways
• A high-impact motivation strategy: a well-loved teacher agreed to be slimed if the $30,000 goal was reached

This final challenge created a sense of urgency and enthusiasm among students. When the target was achieved, the teacher was slimed at a wrap-up assembly—an experience the students are unlikely to forget.

"That sliming moment pulled us across the line. The kids were so invested—it was the perfect incentive."It was great to work with the Go Raise it team. We raised funds beyond expectation and the students enjoyed the spot prizes we regularly promoted. The ease for sponsors to donate from both Australia and overseas was great.
