Shrove Tuesday, popularly known as Pancake Day, is a delightful occasion celebrated with stacks of fluffy pancakes and a dash of creativity.
For schools looking to engage students, parents, and the community while raising funds, Pancake Day offers a fantastic opportunity.
In this blog post, we’ll explore three flippin’ fabulous Pancake Day school fundraising ideas that are sure to stack up the support for your school.
School Fundraising Idea 1: Pancake Breakfast Extravaganza
Organise a Pancake Breakfast event where pupils, parents, and community members can gather for a morning filled with delicious pancakes. Set up a designated area with griddles, toppings, and a variety of syrups.
To add a competitive twist, consider hosting a pancake flipping contest. A great example for this school fundraising idea is Friends of Roundhay St Johns Primary School’s Pancake Day campaign Pancake Pandemonium 2024 in which the pupils will take part in a fun pancake flipping race around the playground.

School Fundraising Idea 2: Pancake Decorating Contest
Get students involved in the creative process by organising a Pancake Decorating Contest. Set up stations with pre-cooked pancakes and an array of toppings such as:
- Fruits
- Nuts
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate chips
- Sweets
Enlist teachers, parents, or local chefs as judges, and award prizes for the most creative, tasty, and visually appealing pancakes.
Consider partnering with local businesses for prize donations or sponsorships. The event not only engages the school community but also provides a platform for pupils to showcase their culinary talents.
School Fundraising Idea 3: Pancake Day Fundraising Cookbook
Capture the essence of Pancake Day by creating a special fundraising cookbook featuring unique pancake recipes contributed by students, parents, and teachers.
Encourage members of the school community to submit their favourite pancake recipes along with a short story or memory related to Pancake Day. Compile the recipes into a beautifully designed cookbook that can be sold as a fundraising item.
Collaborate with local businesses or print shops for discounted printing costs or sponsorships. Not only does this idea raise funds through cookbook sales, but it also fosters a sense of community and celebrates the diverse culinary traditions within the school.
