Holiday Events/Promotions
Breakfast and Photos
with Santa/Easter Bunny (H):
Sponsor a seasonal community breakfast and photo session where
children can spend time with Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny,
etc. Charge either an entrance fee or dining/photo fee to cover
expenses. Donate the proceeds to your Children's Miracle
Network hospital.
Christmas Tree Festival (H):
Have community groups or other local businesses donate decorated
Christmas trees, wreaths and other holiday decorations to sell.
Display the trees in a public hall on specified days and support
the event with holiday music, food booths and other vendor items
to create a festive boutique atmosphere. Make sure to check
with your Children's Miracle Network hospital to inquire
about their own Festival of Trees promotion during the holiday
season. Your credit union could donate and decorate a tree to
be sold and benefit the hospital.
Egg Hunt/Cake Walk (M):
Have local children enter an Easter egg hunt or cake walk during
the Easter holiday season. Design a creative way to gather donations
with the event.
Holiday Flower Sale (L):
A holiday flower sale is a great opportunity to team with a
local florist to help hospitalized kids in your community. Sell
poinsettias during the Christmas/Chanukah season, roses for
Valentine’s Day, spring bouquets for Mother’s Day,
etc. Providing a flower delivery service along with the promotion
could develop additional funds as well.
Holiday Gift Wrapping Drive (L):
Buy wrapping paper in bulk or contact a distributor that specializes
in gift-wrap sales for nonprofit groups. Involve staff wrapping
gifts for a small fee donated to your member’s Children's
Miracle Network hospital.
Valentine Heart Sales (L):
Your Children's Miracle Network hospital has access to
paper hearts that sell for $1 each at no cost to your credit
union. Similar to a Miracle Balloon campaign, these paper hearts
sell during mid January through Valentine’s Day and add
a holiday flare to your credit union.
