How to enter

It's Easy to Enter! 

Your school may already be eligible to enter your existing fundraising efforts in the Kids Helping Kids Awards! All fundraising activity completed in 2010 which helps kids, whether local or international, through SchoolAid or through another charity, is in the running for one of our great prizes. Australian primary schools conduct so many amazing fundraising programs every year to support kids and SchoolAid wants to recognise and reward those efforts. 

One of the Awards entrants is a primary school raising funds to support a charity in their local area for underprivileged kids who need a break from their everyday life.  Kids at the participating school are asked to complete a chore for their parents at home to earn a gold coin to donate to the charity. This school-based fundraising helping kids in their local area has given the participating school a chance to win one of our amazing Kids Helping Kids Awards prize packs! 

Another of our schools held a Hats for Haiti fundraiser earlier in the year and has entered their event in the Awards.

HOW DO I ENTER THE AWARDS?

Quick and Easy!  Simply complete a copy of the registration form, complete and return to us by email to: admin@schoolaid.org.au or post: SchoolAid Trust, PO Box 1526, North Sydney, NSW 2059.

You have two options when choosing an appeal to enter into the Kids Helping Kids Awards.  SchoolAid runs several emergency appeals and campaigns each year, depending on need (only fundraising activities undertaken in 2010 are eligible for entry into the Awards).  Alternatively, your fundraising group may choose to showcase your own locally based fundraising appeal that supports an issue, cause or organisation of your own choice.

Your registration is very important as this means that you will be provided with a unique registration number and kept up to date with the progress of the Awards.

Due to unprecedented demand, the Awards Registration period has been extended to 15 September 2010.

Once you have completed the AWARDS REGISTRATION FORM, received your unique registration number (by return email from SchoolAid) and your students have co-ordinated their fundraising project and finalised their outcomes, you will need to complete the AWARDS SUBMISSION FORM.
