Pledge Drive
Pledge Drive
Chair:
When:
Fall
The Portola Springs PTA asks all parents for a once-a-year donation to support the education of our children. Your donation is needed more than ever this year to help provide resources that enrich our children’s education. Please consider making a generous contribution to the PTA annual pledge drive. We need to work together to fill the holes left by state budget cuts to ensure that our children have a quality education.
Our pledge drive goal is to have all families at Portola Springs participate. This is our primary fundraiser for the school year. By having all families participate, it allows us to limit additional fundraising activities and requests throughout the remainder of the school year. Our suggested pledge is $100 per child. All contributions are tax deductible and confidential. ANY contribution amount makes a difference! Portola Springs PTA Tax ID#90-1043145 |
