It's a Onesie Funsie Walkie Runsie
Joining the onesie craze, Canberra Grammar School has made an attempt at the Guinness world record for the the biggest crowd wearing the suits, while at the same time raising awareness for the Snowy Hydro SouthCare helicopter.
They were gathered for the launch of the Onesie Funsie Walkie Runsie, an idea from the students themselves involving a four-kilometre walk/run around Lake Burley Griffin next March.
The Snowy helicopter landed on the school's oval on Friday for the launch of the event. Snowy Hydro SouthCare media manager Kate van Haalen said it was one of the more unusual ways money has been raised for the helicopter service.

I have to wonder how much they all paid out for their onesies....the money could have been donated towards the cause?

It was/is but the children won't find anything to squabble about in it.:-)

exactly. Is the cause for bad taste and onesies?

Give them a break. They're high school girls (by nature silly and frivolous). They are doing something for their community and having fun at the same time.
Good on you girls.

From what I can make out, these onesies were a pretty big trend, so I'm going to have a guess that most of the kids already had one anyway and don't need to purchase one specifically for this event.
And I'm with Lurker, it really is about sooo much more than fundraising, it's getting kids involved in their communities and getting kids to think about someone else and to do something for someone else without expecting anything in return.
Even if all they raise is a few dollars per kid, the fact the kids were involved and had the opportunity to learn that being involved can be rewarding is a good thing.

most would have probably had one already.
