Funny Money is simply a cool way to make Relay for Life a little more interesting, a bit more competitive and an activity that all the family can play ALL NIGHT!! Each team is given $250 in funny money, in $2 denominations. Each team also chooses an activity to make money. This can be face painting, nail art, etc. The only limitation is your teams imagination. The activity can be as simple or elaborate as you want. You can charge what you like, but beware! too pricey and you won’t make any money. Funny Money is a great way to occupy the kids’ big and small, and it certainly helps to pass the time. BUT - BE WARNED, the kids are the biggest hagglers!!!!

**** PLEASE NOTE **** When holding any activities at your campsite, people will stop to look and maybe participate. Please be aware of people blocking the track. For the health and safety of all participants if this occurs we will be asking people to move on. Many thanks from the committee…….
