THE RUDY AWARD SCHOOL FUNDRAISING PROGRAM

Each Middle School that participates in the Rudy Award Program will have an opportunity to raise funds for their school.

The Rudy Foundation will provide RUDY BEARS to the school for their fundraising program. The school will receive both purple and gold bears. Each Bear will have one of the Four Life Success Principles of Character, Courage, Contribution, or Commitment embossed on it�s back.

Parents, teachers, and students can get involved and will have fun selling RUDY BEARS to raise funds for their school and support the Rudy Award Program.

All participating schools will keep 50% of the net profits raised from the RUDY BEAR Program. The remaining 50% will go to the Rudy Foundation to help implement the Rudy Award Program and supply books to Middle Schools across the nation.

It is very important for the kids to get involved in their own fundraising program. They can set goals as a team and get excited about how they can improve their school with the funds they raise from the program. Their participation in this program will help them develop and apply the principles they are learning in the Rudy Award Program (RAP) in the classroom. The students� involvement will positively impact their lives as they learn to appreciate the lessons they are learning and claim ownership of the Rudy Award Program! When a student claims ownership of an idea or principle, it becomes a part of them and helps them become winners in Life!
