Impact100: The Power of Fundraising
How Shore is Making a Difference.
Fundraising extends far beyond the act of raising money; it offers students opportunities for personal growth, community engagement, and skill development that enrich their lives in profound ways. The School’s emphasis on fundraising as a critical component of community service, highlights its commitment to teaching students that they can be active agents of change.
By encouraging students to consider various fundraising activities within their Houses, Shore is not only fostering a sense of responsibility, but also instilling key life skills such as leadership, team collaboration, critical thinking, and goal setting. Students learn that even the smallest contributions can make a significant collective difference in their role as active members of the School community and the broader society.
How can you help?
Parents and staff have the opportunity to contribute to the development of future leaders. By engaging with Shore’s initiatives on homelessness and philanthropy, you empower students to think critically and become change-makers.
Your support in discussing these topics with your sons/students and participating in fundraising activities can inspire them to take an active role in solving pressing societal issues.
As we approach our final week of fundraising, we hope our students are well on the way to building considerable donations on behalf of their Houses. We also encourage all families to attend our Pitch Event, along with their sons to further support these efforts as all ticket proceeds will be donated on the night.
Please join us next Thursday 23 November at 7.30pm in the Shore War Memorial Hall. All proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to the charities involved so your attendance will further amplify your sons’ fundraising efforts to address homelessness.
The five finalists pitching to the Shore community include the following:
• The Haven, Nepean Women’s Shelter
• Stepping Stone House
• Dignity
• Streetwork
• House of Welcome
Tickets are available for purchase online via: https://events.humanitix.com/schools-for-impact-grant-pitch-night-hosted-by-shore
