Epilepsy Foundation of Colorado & Wyoming - Community Fundraiser

Be The Change

With social distancing guidelines in place and a national coin shortage, our “Be the Change” program has taken on a new model in 2020. We believe our youth are innovative, resilient, and benefit tremendously from volunteerism. This year, youth and families can create their own “Be the Change” page and use their creativity to raise awareness and foster a sense of community while keeping friends and loved ones safe.

Prizes for the highest individual fundraisers:

  1. Gift bag and $100 pizza gift certificate and dedicated social media post.
  2. Gift bag and $50 pizza gift certificate
  3. Gift bag and $25 pizza gift certificate

Some students are in the classroom and some are online, so we have provided some socially distanced ideas below:

  • Pet Parade 
  • Rake Your Neighbors leaves 
  • Sew Purple Masks 
  • Pumpkin Carving Contest 
  • Yard Sale 
  • Bake Sale
  • Hot Coco Sale  
  • Virtual Bingo or Trivia with friends near and far!
