Looking
for a new and different school fundraiser? An Educational Fundraiser with Community Impact? Keep Kids Alive Drive 25® has the answer: Get your community involved in making school zones and neighborhood streets safer for children, pedestrians and cyclists, while generating much-needed funds for your important school projects.
Now That Makes Sense (and Cents)! Everything You Need Is Right Here! WHAT IS IT?
Your school makes between $8-$10 for each KKAD25® sign you sell, and keeps $1 per item for other awareness items sold! There’s a side benefit,
too—young people and adults involved in the campaign learn to be safer
drivers, too, as they become more aware of how their own or their
parents’ driving habits impact others. It’s easy! Just download and print brochures and order forms for your students to take around to neighbors in the community. The order forms feature Keep Kids Alive Drive 25® yard signs and other awareness items, including vehicle magnets, trash can decals and key chains bearing the Keep Kids Alive Drive 25® message. Did we mention that your school keeps between $8 to $10 for every sign sold? Sell 250 signs and make an easy $2500 for your school while making a huge impact on safety in your community! There are free incentives for your students as well—incentives that continue to promote your safety campaign long after your fundraising project ends. When students sell one sign, they’ll get a free Keep Kids Alive Drive 25® silicone awareness wristband. When they sell three signs, they get their choice of a free Keep Kids Alive Drive 25® reflective backsack or T-shirt. If they sell five signs, they’ll get both the wristband and their choice of backsack or T-shirt! Be sure to have students indicate their choice of award on their order form if they’ve sold three signs or more. The campaign can also be tailored to meet the individual safety needs of your community. You can offer items bearing the Be Aware! Drive With Care™, Check Your Speed®/No Need To Speed®, Stop! Take 3 To See®, and Seat Belts-FASTENATING!® logos. For special order forms designed around these other safety themes, contact Tom Everson at Tom@kkad25.org. Click on the links below to download brochures, order forms, and public service messages to start your own Keep Kids Alive Drive 25® Educational Fundraiser. Once you’ve downloaded your materials, you can maximize your KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25® Fundraising Campaign by using one or more of these ideas: · Kick off your campaign by having children parade around the school with KKAD25® yard signs, minus the stakes. You might do this near the end of the day when parents are arriving, as close to the parking lot and pick up area as safely possible. Invite local media along with city and school district communications personnel to cover the event. · Mark your community’s “Safe Walk to School” routes with KKAD25® yard signs at the beginning of the school year, or whenever you start your campaign. Let the media know. · Send letters about the campaign to local HOAs and apartment managers, enlisting their support. In case they have regulations regarding the use of yard signs, ask them to make an exception for signs promoting safety. Ask them to help promote your fundraiser in their newsletter. · Apply for local grant funds to augment your safety effort. Sources include Neighborhood Watch grants through your local law enforcement or Safe Routes to School Grants (visit http://www.saferoutesinfo.org/contacts/index.cfm and click on your state for information) · Get the media involved! Invite local radio stations and the local newspaper to run KKAD25® public service announcements. Print Ads and suggested radio copy are available on our web site. A :30 cable television PSA is also available. Contact Tom Everson for details at tom@kkad25.org. · Ask businesses to sponsor customized KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25® messaging items by combining KKAD25® logos with their company logo on pencils, mouse pads, rulers, etc. to keep the message in front of children and teenagers as they grow. Contact KKAD25® at 402-334-1391 for sponsor information. · Ask City Council members and Police to work with your local PTAs to seed the campaign in neighborhoods adjacent to schools. · Ask local Traffic Engineers or Public Works departments to place KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25® street signs or decals on digital display radar trailers in and around school zones. Decals can also be added to city vehicles to drive the message around town. · Get High Schools involved…ask the Student Council, a school service organization or Drivers Ed Program to present a KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25® key chain, car magnet or static cling decal to new drivers upon receiving their driver’s license. (A high school in St. Louis, MO gave each student a KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25® static cling window decal along with their parking permit). · Traffic Safety Public Service Announcements are available through KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25® for use in School and Community newsletters. Please contact us at (402) 334-1391 or at Tom@kkad25.org for more information. · Post a permanent metal KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25® street sign at the exit driveway of all elementary schools as a reminder to drivers as they head into neighborhoods. · With proceeds from your fundraiser, distribute KEEP KIDS ALIVE DRIVE 25® trash can decals to school families to take the message curbside each trash day.
