At Heatwave Events, every serve, spike, and rally contributes to something far greater than the game itself — supporting SickKids and helping children in need. Fundraising is at the heart of what we do, and we make it fun, achievable, and community-driven. Whether you’re a first-time participant or a returning champion, our step-by-step plan shows just how easy it can be to raise $500 in just seven days.

Day 1: Start strong with your own contribution of $50. Leading by example inspires confidence and motivates others to join in your cause.
Day 2: Reach out to three family members and ask each to sponsor you for $25. Most loved ones are happy to help when they know their support makes a difference.
Day 3: Expand your reach by asking five friends to chip in $20 each. Sharing your fundraising link on social media or group chats can help you hit this goal quickly.
Day 4: Engage your workplace community by inviting five co-workers to donate $10 each. Small contributions add up fast when teamwork extends beyond the court.
Day 5: Knock on your neighborhood’s heart — ask five neighbours to sponsor you for $20 each. It’s a great way to spread awareness and connect locally.
Day 6: Approach your boss for a company contribution of $50, and if possible, ask them to match employee donations. Corporate giving often boosts morale and doubles impact.
Day 7: Finish strong by following up with everyone who pledged support — gratitude goes a long way. Send thank-you messages and share how close you are to your target to encourage last-minute donations.

By following this simple plan, you’ll reach $500 in just one week — proof that small actions, when combined, create powerful results. Every dollar raised fuels vital research, treatment, and care for children at SickKids, bringing hope and healing where it’s needed most.

Join the movement, inspire your network, and turn your passion for play into purpose. Together, we can make every Heatwave Event not just a day of fun, but a force for good.
