Childhood Hero Dress Up Day has now finished

23 Jun 2010

To celebrate Childhood Hero Day on 23 June, we are inviting students to dress up as their hero. This could be a sporting identity, family member, community member, eg. policeman, fireman, or a superhero.

To participate, students will need to bring along a $2.00 coin on the day. Fifty per cent of all funds raised via your fundraising pages, and other fundraising activities, including collecting $2.00 per student will be retained by your school and 50 per cent will go to the Australian Childhood Foundation.

The school that raises the most money will win Fujifilm's newly released FinePix HS10 digital camera.

The boy who raises the most funds will win a Collingwood Inner Sanctum Experience. This will include:

o Four reserved seats to a Collingwood Football Club home match

o Two change-room passes

o An opportunity to hold up the banner before the game

The girl who raises the most funds will win a Vixens Inner Sanctum Experience. This will include:

o Two tickets to a 2011 Vixens Netball Team match

o A pre game address by a Vixens coach

o A tour of the club rooms and an opportunity to meet the players after the game

Funds must be received by 16th July 2010 to be eligible to win.

The Smooze Story

We are very excited about our association with a fantastic organisation that distributes healthy snacks for children. Health Attack recently launched its range of Smooze products in Australia and they are literally running off the shelves.

Smooze is a delicious and nutritious frozen treat made from freshly pressed coconut milk, real fruit juices, and fruit purees. Children absolutely love it, and best of all, it is good for them.

Smooze is offering every school that participates in Childhood Hero Dress Up Day a FREE sample for every child to take home in Term 3. If you are interested in more information on Smooze go to www.smooze.com.au. If you would like to order FREE samples for your school for Term 3, contact Camilla Fiorini at cfiorini@childhood.org.au.

Childhood Hero Schools Program

The Australian Childhood Foundation's Childhood Hero Schools Program is a critical component of our Become a Childhood Hero Program. We believe every child needs a hero to make them feel special, loved and cared for. Our program gives us all an opportunity to celebrate the fun, innocence and importance of childhood, and to raise funds to provide specialist counselling to children to help them recover from the trauma of abuse, family violence and neglect.
