3. What is the Help Kids Live Free Campaign?
YOUR fundraising campaign.
Every dollar your program raises stays in YOUR school and supports YOUR Food & Friends Program!
LIVE FREE, for those who live without:
Share the message;
Raise awareness;
Involve communities;
Strengthen your program’s sustainability.
The model is FLEXIBLE and ADAPTABLE:
Your program is unique… What will you do?

4. The Hunger Games Model STRONGEST ELEMENTS:
Education – What is the impact of the campaign?
Leadership – Choose an influential, relatable leader.
Competition – A healthy dose 
STUDENTS’ PEERS, TOOLS, WORLD:
What’s trending? Ask them!
Use students’ media and communication tools;
Find a champion for the cause among the students.
DRIVE AND INSPIRATION:
Set an achievable goal and strive to WIN.
In 2015, GCVI held a very successful campaign, organized by its senior leadership class, based on “The Hunger Games.” Letting the students run a program based on a popular theme among their peers drew in participation and engagement and significantly increased dollars raised.
