Expressions School Fundraising February Newsletter
Celebrating 25 Years of Creative Fundraising
We’re beyond excited to kick off 2024 by celebrating a huge milestone, 25 years of Expressions! That’s a quarter of a century of bringing smiles, supporting schools, and capturing childhood memories through our iconic Expressions Tea Towels and custom fundraising products.
From our humble beginnings in 1999 with just a few tea towel projects, we’ve now partnered with thousands of schools, early learning centres, clubs, and communities across the country, from tiny outback towns to bustling city schools. Together, we’ve raised millions of dollars for meaningful causes, and every single project has been a piece of our story.
“It’s been a rewarding, challenging and fulfilling ride,” says Emma, our founder. “We’ve loved watching your children’s artwork come to life on tea towels and seeing those creations cherished in homes all around the world. Thank you for making Expressions what it is today.”
Welcome Back to Fundraising in 2024
After a well-deserved summer break, we’re ready to hit the ground running. We can’t wait to see what artwork your students come up with this year! If you’re looking for fundraising ideas for students or thinking of trying something new, our team is here to help every step of the way. Whether it’s your first tea towel fundraiser or your fifteenth, we’ve got all the tools you need to make it a success.

It comes with everything you need to plan and promote your fundraiser, including pre cut paper, pens, sample products, and marketing materials.
