Here are some ideas for potential opportunities to support Coffee

Here are some ideas for potential opportunities to support Coffee Break in your school community:
Course Project
Bake Sale
Challenge Days
Incorporate into the curriculum! Some
schools have used this as a marketing or
culinary program project (e.g., market
coffee/tea/hot chocolate stations as a
school buyout opportunity with culinary
assistance).
Bake sale with donation box and profits
going towards Coffee Break.

All of the funds raised throughout the Niagara
Region stay here for our Client Services Programs
that provide quality of life for those living with
Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias as well
as their families and partners in care.
Students, staff and parents can buy into
playing other parents and families in Trivial
Pursuit or other games for a night. You
could have coffee and treats for sale as
another bonus to boost donations.

IDEAS On How Your
School Can...
The profits or partial profits can be donated
to Coffee Break. This can be done as an after
school or weekend event with parents.

room for a certain amount of time and they
put their donations in the cup. The challenge
to each class would be how many cups of
money they can donate.
