Get your school community involved this March and stand up for the 1 in 200 Australian children living with epilepsy. The Purple Schools Challenge is a fun, flexible way for students, teachers and families to learn, fundraise and show their support - all while turning your school purple.
Whether you love a messy challenge or prefer a creative approach, there’s a way for every school to take part.
- Raise $500 and muck a teacher
- Raise $1,000 and muck your Principal
Download a copy of the purple muck recipe, as well as other helpful materials, on our Resources page.
Not keen on the muck? No problem. Schools can choose a purple-themed activity that suits their community and fundraising goals.
Ideas include:
- Purple dress-up or free dress day
- Purple bake sale or sausage sizzle
- Purple sports day, fun run or walk
- Classroom challenges, assemblies or art activities
If you would like more information around epilepsy to share with your school community, including fact sheets, please email MMP@makemarchpurple.org.au
Be sure to share any photos/videos of your Purple activity on your fundraising page and social media to help spread awareness and share the fun with your community. Tag your epilepsy organisation and use the hashtags: #MakeMarchPurple #MuckUpForEpilepsy #PurpleForEpilepsy
