Have you thought of asking family, friends and business acquaintances for donations? One of our students raised over $1,600 this summer by just mailing 30 letters asking for donations from family, friends and business acquaintances like dentists and doctors. You can use this sample letter as a starting point for your letters.
Dining out – we will feature a different restaurant each month. Our next dining out is April 11th, from 3 – 8 p.m at Mr. Goodcents at 91st & Metcalf.
Where possible, the money that you generate from the fundraising activities will be deposited directly to the student's account. For group activities, like Dining Out, the funds raised will be split evenly among all students. Remember that parents need to sign a fundraising policy form (below) before any money can be credited to a student's account.
