If you live in the Boston area, the Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl has launched a new fundraising program called Scooper Schools, and are inviting schools, youth
groups, and other student organizations to plan and run an ice cream fundraiser to benefit cancer care and research at
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. According to the Jimmy Fund Scooper School program, "No idea is too small. Groups can host an ice cream social, or set up an ice cream booth in the school cafeteria, or dish up an ice cream eating contest. The goal is to help students be creative, build self-confidence, and most importantly, understand the significance of philanthropy." Special incentives for the schools that raise the most money include free admission to the three-day Scooper Bowl at City Hall Plaza. For more information on the event, go to Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl webpage. The Jimmy Fund comes up with some delightful and fun ideas for fundraising that other communities might want to check out.
