Bubble Gum Day

Today is Bubble Gum Day. On this day, kids bring 50 cents to school and donate it to a good cause. In exchange, they can chew bubble gum in school today. The school selects in advance, what cause the donations will go to. Ruth Spiro, the creator, wanted to have a day where kids can simply participate in donating, without constantly selling things. She says that since its creation, this day has become a sweet success!

Bubble Gum Day was originally established for schools. But, libraries, clubs, and community groups can and do participate. Even businesses are encouraged to hold a Bubble Gum Day event.

How to Celebrate Bubble Gum Day

• Schools select an organization or cause to donate to. School children who bring in 50 cents or more to donate can allowed chew gum in school for the day.
• We encourage other organizations and groups to do this fundraiser.
