Giving Tuesday + Wish Night Alert
Giving Tuesday is a global generosity movement that encourages people to donate their time, resources, or talents to causes, fostering a spirit of philanthropy and community engagement. This Giving Tuesday, consider making a meaningful contribution to your child’s classroom through Wish Night. This special event empowers the remarkable AV staff to craft memorable and dynamic experiences for your child.
We’re currently at 62%, just a hair away from reaching this year’s goal of 70%. Last year, an impressive 75% of AV families successfully supported classroom funds, the principal’s discretionary fund, and the school-wide fund. Imagine what could happen if we surpassed that achievement this year! Your support for Wish Night is crucial; we can’t do it without you.
If you haven’t donated yet, seize the moment! Now is the perfect time to make a difference. Don’t forget to check with your employer for matching donations!
Head over to ptavorg.com/wish-night right now and make your donation. Can’t do it online? No worries! Drop your donation and form at the front office, marking your envelope “Wish Night.” Have a question about Wish Night? Not sure if your donation came through? Reach out to Wish Night Chair O’ryan McKinney: [email protected]
Happy holidays!
