Why Your Support Is Needed
For the 2024-25 school year, we need to raise $300,000 to support Beacon's robust programming. (Our suggested donation is $500 per student/family, which will help us cover our budget and not cut programs; however, all gifts are welcomed.)
Funds support clubs and sports, academic programs, the college office, professional development, and social-emotional well-being programming, to name a few. These programs are NOT covered by the DOE.
Only through support from all members of the parent/guardian community we will be able to maintain these offerings.
There are several ways to give:
Donate to Family Giving via a one-time or recurring donation. (We also take Zelle; under the email, [email protected] & the name Beacon School Parent Association.)
Double or even triple the value of your gift by finding out if your employer offers corporate matching. (Still unsure? Email us - [email protected] - and we'll find out for you.)
Support the Holiday Auction (buy a raffle ticket and buy auction items).
Donate to $5 Fridays (fyi, $5 x 43 Fridays in school year = $215!).
Thank you in advance for your support. If you have any questions about where the funds are going, don't hesitate to reach out. The Beacon PTA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN = 13-3749712) so all gifts are 100% tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
Gratefully,
The Beacon PTA Fundraising Committee
