TOOLS TO HELP YOU WITH YOUR SPONSORSHIP
Once your participation in the 1000 KM has been confirmed, it’s time to think, with your team, about sponsoring a school!
Here are some tools to make your sponsorship a success :
Select school : What type of environment are you interested in: small, medium, large school? Urban environment, rural environment? According to the 2020-2021 deprivation indices ¨(in French only)?
Contact the school : Contact the school administration and let them know about your project. Principals often already have lots of good ideas in mind when it comes to healthy lifestyles!
Projects to propose : Various inspiring projects have emerged in recent years: purchase of equipment for the gymnasium, climbing wall, bicycle desks, psychomotor course, development of a hebertism trail, introductory course in yoga, white classes, green classes, and much more!
Visit the school with your team :
- Go energize the students of the sponsored school by presenting them with the project you have selected!
- Tell them about your team, the Grand défi Pierre Lavoie, and the project related to healthy lifestyles.
- Invite them to move with you and actively participate in the Energy Cubes challenge.
- Encourage students to surpass themselves, just as you will during your 1000 KM.
Tip : As soon as the online donation platform opens, you can initiate the solicitation from those around you. Do not wait until you have selected your school and / or your project, start this step as soon as possible. You will have until the end of August to collect the donations.
