BUCKS FOR BROWN is a two week fundraiser ending with a Fun Run on October 4th, 2024 and is Brown School’s ONLY large fundraiser. We do this instead of traditional catalog fundraisers which allows parents and our local business community to donate directly to the Brown School PTO. This money provides additional opportunities for our students and teachers such as additional books for our Media Center, field trips, popcorn days, spelling bee, Science Olympiad, playground activities, teacher grants, LEGO and science nights and so much more! The goal is to raise enough funds to support the PTO annual budget, this translates into approximately $50 per student in donations.
As our fundraising winds down, we will celebrate as a school at our Bucks for Brown Celebration Fun Run.
YES. We are requesting that all donations be collected, placed in the attached envelope and returned to school by October 4th. Of course we will gladly receive donations after this date, simply send it to the office clearly marked with your students name, teacher and note ‘BUCKS FOR BROWN’.
