How It Works

Reindeer Run is a fun, easy-to-run fundraising campaign supporting KidsCan. Students create their own online fundraising page, share it with whānau and friends, and collect donations to help Kiwi kids in need. At the end of the campaign, students put on their reindeer antlers and come together for an exciting colour run event filled with colour, energy and fun!
We provide everything schools need to get involved, including reindeer antlers, fundraising resources, event guides, student rewards and ongoing support, making it simple for teachers and PTAs to deliver.

A simple, school friendly approach

We know schools are busy, so Reindeer Run is built to be straightforward and flexible. Here’s a quick look at  the timeline and student reward options.

Visual Timeline

Reindeer Run follows a clear, school-friendly timeline. From registration and campaign launch to the Colour Run event, we provide a structured plan and resources to guide your team at every step.

Student Rewards

Students can earn rewards for their fundraising efforts, with flexible prize options to suit your school. Schools can choose to offer prizes, certificates, or recognition-based rewards to motivate students while keeping fundraising fair and inclusive.
