As a nutritionally conscious parent, you already know it just doesn’t make sense to fundraise by selling sugar laden chocolates or calorie filled donuts whilst we’re encouraging our kids and their school canteens to make healthier choices. In fact, an article recently published in Melbourne’s Herald Sun  newspaper agrees with you.

This fundraiser is different, not only because it’s a healthy and fun product, but also because we’re not asking families to sell Smooze. Parents are simply given the opportunity to buy Smooze at it’s normal retail price for their own enjoyment. This way, no one feels pressured to sell and all profits are shared between your school or club and The Australian Childhood Foundation rather than the supermarket.

Our Healthy Fundraising With Smooze opportunity is a dual-beneficiary program, with profits shared between your child’s school or club and the Australian Childhood Foundation.

Why help the Australian Childhood Foundation ?

Good question, and we’ve got a compelling answer for you. The unfortunate facts are that last year there were 872 new reports of child abuse per day. No one believes that all case are reported and there’s not a postcode in Australia where this doesn’t happen! Even in adult life, children who have suffered abuse are 4 times more likely to commit suicide.

For 20 years, the Australian Childhood Foundation have tirelessly worked to put a stop to child abuse and give children a life free of violence and trauma. They have implemented world leading and recognised programs that counsel and support children to recovery,  help professionals work with children to better support at-risk children, raise the awareness of the causes and consequences of abuse and what we can do as a community to prevent abuse, and offer resources to help parents raise healthy and confident children. It’s a natural cause for Smooze to want to support.

So when you decide to use Smooze Fruit Ice to raise funds, you not only help your child’s school or club, you also help support those Australian children who need it the most through the Australian Childhood Foundation.

Healthy Fundraising With Smooze, we’ve done our homework on what you need.

Research has found that the dramatic rise in recent years of  childhood conditions such as ADD, ADHA, Autism, allergies and asthma is directly linked to poor diet and the consumption of artificial colours and preservatives. The health and medical practitioners associated with The MINDD Foundation are committed to the urgent need for education to raise healthy children.

Being 100% free of artificial additives, Smooze is a naturally-passionate advocate of this work.
