Platform Creation
Once confirmed we will set up your custom online sponsorship platform. You will receive a school dashboard allowing you to track all funds raised. You also enter the bank account that you would like all funds transferred. Additionally, each student gains access to create their own dashboard and custom sponsorship link.
Media Kit
Motiv8sports will provide your school with a GR8 RACE Media Kit including student explainers, posters, parent letter templates, digital files and hype video to be used on the school’s social media accounts.
Assembly Talk
A member from our team will perform a brief 10 minute assembly presentation to the students explaining the GR8 RACE. Our team are experts at generating energy, engaging and motivating students to commence recruiting sponsors to support them. At the conclusion of the assembly students will receive their GR8 RACE Boarding Pass. their boarding pass contains instructions and a unique account login link which they will circulate to potential sponsors.
Sponsors
Once a student receives their boarding pass with the help of their parent/carer they will create their online sponsor page. In days gone by students would recruit sponsors for skip-a-thons, walk-a-thons, read-a-thons, etc. by knocking on doors, gaining written commitments, and then had to collect the funds at the conclusion of the activity. At Motiv8sports the safety and wellbeing of students is essential so the parent/carer plays a vital role working with their child to gain sponsors via our digitized platform.
Gaining a sponsor is as simple as sending a text message, Whatsapp or Messenger with a direct link to the child’s boarding pass account. We recommend at least 4-6 weeks to allow students to gain sponsors. Parent/carers can login and show their child how many sponsors they have gained and the funds raised in the lead up to the GR8 RACE.
Milestone Rewards
Students are incentivised to gain sponsors via milestone rewards. As sponsors are generated students are rewarded at certain milestones.
This encourages students to gain as many sponsors as possible and maximises the funds raised for the school.
While we incentivize students to raise funds, all students (regardless of funds raised) receive the same amazing experience on the day of the GR8 RACE.
The GR8 RACE
On the morning of the GR8 Race each student receives their passport containing the flags of all countries included. the amount of country flags displayed is dependent on each school. We will work closely with you to determine the amount of space available, soft space/hard space and the intended duration of each race.
Students compete in teams of 4-8 encouraging teamwork, communication and collaboration throughout the race. Each student carries their passport with them and for every country challenge completed their passport is stamped by a Motiv8sports official or volunteer.
Whether it’s a colour run, a slip’n’slide, a teachers dunk tank or a huge inflatable dartboard student engagement and enjoyment is maximized as they attempt to complete as many countries as possible in the allotted time.
Throughout the race the DJ makes announcements, enforces penalties, offers bonus’s and reminds teams of the rules. there is no set path for the GR8 RACE and teams will have to work together to make decisions about which countries to visit and in what order. this is a maximum participation event where time waiting for activities to become free is limited.
Country activities can be modified throughout the day to accommodate for different age categories and involve sports, music, dance, problem solving and adventure based learning. Depending on the season we can also add or reduce water and levels of mess.
Platform Update
After the event students are prompted to access their platform and enter the number of countries completed. Once entered all sponsors are debited for the pre-authorised amount per country.
Funds Transfer
All sponsorship funds are collated via our online platform. Milestone Reward costs are automatically deducted from each students’ funds raised and net funds are transferred into your schools nominated bank account removing any need for the school to handle cash or manage transactions.
Post Event Delivery
After your event a member from our team will visit the school to drop off all milestone rewards clearly labelled and organized by class where possible. Teachers can then present all students with their rewards and congratulate those who obtained a medal.
As an optional extra we can provide a bonus award for the highest fundraiser in each grade.
