FAQ

• The TopKid program lasts for 2 weeks. Starting with a kickoff in the school, and ending with the final Fundraising Event.

• In order to teach kids the success skills and character traits that will help them, we need to meet them where they are most likely to learn - in their classroom. This also allows the teacher to hear and contribute to the lesson, tying it to teachings they are already working on in class.

• Schools have earned at a minimum 56% more fundraising dollars with the TopKid program. Expenses vary due to differences in what event schools want to do, however EVERY school should expect to make more than they would on their own, working with TopKid.

• We find many many student WANT to participate, and are excited to do the fundraiser, when they learn about it and how the money raised goes back to their school. 

• Additionally TopKid works with teachers to give class prizes (such as extra recess, or bring a toy to class) - instead of individual prizes.

  • • Individual prizes by nature are cheap and inexpensive, and mostly just create clutter and trash for a family to throw away.

    • Class prizes promote a sense of team and community in the class, and often are more meaningful and memorable for students once they are achieved.

• As much or as little as you want! TopKid takes care of everything!

For younger kids they will need help knowing who to ask for donations, and how to give out their donation link. Also we always encourage students to talk to their parents to understand who they feel comfortable talking to about the fundraiser.

As for volunteering, many parents will have an opportunity to volunteer at the event if they wish to do so.

• These will change over time but examples of lessons taught are:

  • Dependability

  • Integrity

  • Kindness

  • Teamwork
