Ways and Means
Fundraising Objectives for the 2008-2009
School Year
The PTA will spend
approximately $55 per child this year on the many educational and cultural arts
assemblies and other programs and events that we either sponsor or support. We hope you will agree that our programs are
worth your continued support. Our Board
is aware that fundraising puts a burden on our families and our
volunteers. We are working very hard to make
fundraising as painless as possible by reducing our budget where we can, by reducing
the number of fundraisers we will run this year, and by limiting our fundraisers
to those that offer high value or quality, convenient substitutions for items
that you would purchase routinely elsewhere.
There are several ways you
can support the fundraising efforts of the PTA at Marion Jordan:
Direct Donation
- make a tax-deductible donation to the PTA at the start of the school year (
click here to get our Direct Donation Form);
Innisbrook Wraps – Fall fundraiser but
available year round - purchase quality gift items, chocolate, and gift wrap
with a 50% return of profit.
Manna Gift Card Program - purchase gift cards as gifts or for everyday use
and earn a percent of the profit for our school at no extra cost to you;
Market Day Monthly Grocery Program – purchase convenient, quality foods while returning
a percent of the profit to our school;
Art to Remember
– Spring program - purchase keepsakes featuring your
child’s artwork and earn a portion of the profit for our school;
Raffle/Silent Auction - donate or bid on items in our Raffle/Silent Auction
at our annual Fun Fair family event on February 27th.
If you would like to become
more involved in our fundraising efforts or donate an item or service toward
our Fun Fair Raffle/Auction, feel free to contact Alison Silver. Alternatively,
you can contact Julie O’Hara and/or WendySeidman, PTA
Co-Presidents if you would like to help with any of our other PTA efforts.
