CMMS PTSA Annual Fundraiser - "Pass the Hat"

Dear CMMS Families,

We kindly ask you to donate to the 2025-26 CMMS PTSA Annual Fundraiser - "Pass the Hat".

Our goal this year is to raise $15,000. We recommend that families contribute $75.00 per CMMS student, but any donation amount you are comfortable with is appreciated. Your support makes a difference!

PTSA provided an all-school grant to purchase one new tent that can be used for multiple CMMS events.  YOUR donations fund our grants, so thank YOU for the new tent! 

However, the school needs more tents to replace broken ones, and that means that PTSA needs your donations to fully fund our grant budget. If your kid ever came home with a sun burn or sopping wet and freezing, we hope to provide more protection with more tents!

HOW DOES THE PTSA SUPPORT CMMS? 

Your donations directly support and go to the following PTSA programs:

  • Enrichment grants for teachers, school, and students 
  • Student Recognition 
  • Staff Appreciation events throughout the year
  • Angel Support Program
  • Gift-A-Book Program, Library Support, and Author Visit
  • Student Social Events
  • 8th Grade Promotion and Celebration
  • Reflections National Art Competition
  • Community Support (ISF, VIS, ACT, and Echo Glen) 
  • Golden Acorn Award and Outstanding Advocate Award 
  • Volunteers Recognition 

WHERE DOES MY PTSA MEMBERSHIP MONEY GO?  Only a small portion of the PTSA's income comes from membership dues, and these funds are used primarily for administrative expenses (insurance, bookkeeping, taxes, website, etc.). To provide school enrichment opportunities and support our students when programs are not provided with public funding, we need to raise money. To raise funds, the PTSA conducts a primary fundraising event throughout the year and provides additional fundraising opportunities throughout the year. 100% of your donation is exclusively used at CMMS. It’s tax deductible and qualifies for corporate matching.

 

DOUBLE YOUR DONATIONS

Many companies participate in the donation matching program. If your employer is one of the generous companies who offer this program, please remember to submit a donation matching request with your company.
