I frequently hear from nursing home volunteers and staff who are looking for creative fundraising ideas. Today I want to share a fundraiser we’ve done at a couple of nursing homes where I worked in the past. It’s the weight loss challenge for charity.
I think this is the perfect time of year to begin a weight loss challenge. Summer vacations are behind us, and life is returning to a more steady routine. Besides, if people to lose weight now, they’ll have plenty of time to see a significant loss before the holidays.

Lately, I’m noticing that a lot of nursing homes are looking for unique fundraisers. They don’t want to do the usual events like bake sales and golf tournaments that everyone else is doing.
That’s why I’m introducing you to four successful, but rather unusual, fundraisers held annually to support various healthcare facilities. I’m also including a link so you can contact each organization directly for more information.
The other day, I was scouring the Internet looking for more fundraising ideas to share with you. In the process, I came upon lots of articles about care homes in the UK that raise money on Red Nose Day. Held every two years, this popular event provides money to support a variety of charitable causes in the UK and other parts of the world.
Most of these care homes host traditional fundraising events like bake sales, walks/runs, and raffles. But what struck me was how much fun they create in the process. I was also impressed by the way they get everyone involved in the events including residents, families, frontline staff, and management.
