Scooper Schools
Looking for a "Scooper" end-of-the-year field trip? Become a Scooper School.
The Jimmy Fund Scooper Schools Program provides students in New England the opportunity to earn free admission to the Jimmy Fund Scooper Bowl® presented by FedEx by planning and participating in fundraising projects for the Jimmy Fund throughout the year. By doing so, these students are able to tap into their creativity, build self-confidence, and, most importantly, learn the importance of philanthropy by fundraising at their school.
Teaching students the critical importance of philanthropy and volunteerism in building a better society is a fundamental goal of the Jimmy Fund Scooper Schools Program. The act of giving unleashes the idea that a child can touch someone's life, and by participating in Scooper Schools, children will learn that they too can make a difference in the fight against cancer.

- List of creative fundraising event ideas
- Scooper Bowl posters and Jimmy Fund banners
- Special thank you mention at the event
- School name listed on the Scooper Schools fundraising cone
- School name listed on the Scooper Bowl website
