PS 84 SECOND ANNUAL GALA BENEFIT AUCTION

 

The fundraising committee is excited to announce PS 84's Second Annual Gala Auction to be held at the Crown Victoria  (60 South Second Street) on Sunday May 19th, 2013 at 6:00pm.  Tickets are available online for $25.00.

 

The goal is to raise $40,000 to support PS 84's unique arts and science programs.

 

Last year, thanks to the overwhelming support and generous contributions from a broad array of businesses, most of them local, we were able to raise over $25,000 at our first ever auction. Whether you are a new donor or a returning donor, your support is essential to the ongoing success of our school.

 

We are reaching out to our neighbors and beyond to participate in this important event in whatever way possible. Please consider donating goods or services that can be auctioned at our event. 

 

We are hoping to collect all donations by Friday, May 3rd.  We will provide those donating with an official receipt recognizing your donation.  All donations are tax deductible.

The Boxtops Contest Winners + Fundraising Through Boxtops Online

 

PS 84 has partnered with BoxTops for Education (http://www.boxtops4education.com/) to fundraise. Through this partnership, the school receives funds in two different ways.

 

The first way is by collecting the physical Boxtops coupons (see below). The coupons are printed on various products - just cut them off and then turn the Boxtops coupons into the school and the rewards committee will collect them all and send them in to get funds posted onto our account.   We recently had a contest between classes to see who could collect the most Boxtops, and the winners were Ms. Pritsher's 1st Grade in 1st place, Ms.Wendy's Pre-K in 2nd place, and Ms. Vizcaino's 2nd Grade in 3rd place.  The winning classes each had a celebration.  Congratulations to the winners!

 

The second way to fundraise with Boxtops is to do all your online purchases through the Boxtops website.  Go to the website (http://www.boxtops4education.com) and log in and create an account.  Then find our school - Public School 84 Jose de Diego - and choose it. Next, go to the marketplace page and click on your retailer. It will launch the retailer's site, and then you can make your purchase in the normal way.  Once your purchase is processed, the retailer gives money directly back to PS 84.  Signing up is easy, and you only have to do once. After that, it's a fast and simple way to make money for the school.

Fundraising through Amazon.com
