You are a primary 6 student and your class has been asked to organize a charity event to raise

funds for a local children's hospital. Write a proposal to your teacher outlining your ideas for
the event.
Dear [Teacher's Name],
I am writing to propose some ideas for the charity event that our primary 6 class has been
tasked with organizing. Our aim is to raise funds for the local children's hospital, which does
amazing work in caring for sick children in our community.
I believe that we can make a real difference by organizing a fun and engaging event that will
attract a lot of people from our school and the wider community. Here are some ideas that I
think would be great:
1. A charity carnival: We could organize a carnival with games, food stalls, and other
attractions. We could sell tickets for entry and for each game or attraction, with all
proceeds going to the children's hospital.
2. A sponsored walk: We could organize a walk around our school or a local park, with
participants collecting pledges from family and friends. We could have a prize for the
person who raises the most money.
3. A bake sale: We could organize a bake sale, where students could bake and sell their
own goods. We could also approach local bakeries to donate goods for the sale.
4. A talent show: We could organize a talent show, where students could perform and
charge an entry fee for audience members. We could also ask local businesses to
sponsor the event.
I believe that any of these events could be successful in raising funds for the children's
hospital. I am happy to work with my classmates to organize and promote the event, and I am
sure that we can make a real difference in the lives of sick children in our community.
Thank you for considering my proposal.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
