My high school would host an annual fundraiser for the Terry Fox Foundation every year. Planning the event was and coming up with how to raise money was Leadership's responsibility.
To raise money, events such as looney tosses, bets on racers, stretch goals, and food. All money raised would directly be donated to the fundraiser. In addition, the actual foundation would send supplies to help support the event.
Not only do we raise money, but there is also an annual run that students do as well in memory of Terry and his run across Canada. Both the local high school and elementary school contributed to the same fundraiser. Adding the total of both schools resulted in over $2000 raised
