The Cool Schools Rain Rally is hosted by a school or university where a local fire department provides a rainbow shower of water through which students, teachers, and administrators go through with spirit! While using fire engines is the most popular, you can be creative in how you conduct your own event.
- Commit to “Freezin’ for a Reason”: Students come to a parking lot or large grass area and run, walk or dance through a rainbow water shower
- Enhance the atmosphere: Play music and incorporate other elements to add to the spirit and enthusiasm of the event
- Fundraise: Funds raised will support Special Olympics Pennsylvania’s Unified Champion Schools program
- Incentivize it! Participants who raise a minimum of $35 receive a Rain Rally shirt
- Inspire a Competition: Like other viral fundraising challenges, students can challenge students from rival schools, as well as others throughout the state
We encourage schools and colleges to select their own schedule and design a “Cool Schools Rain Rally Event” in their vision.
