Dear Raskob Community,
 
Things are heating up on the Fundraising front! Wanted to share the following info to continue the great momentum.

See's Candy Drive:
Thank you Molly Sampson for your time and commitment to make the second largest fundraising event a success the second year in a row.  We brought in $7,938.85 in revenue, beating our already all time high last year - $6,562.00. Profit was over $2K. 15% more than last year and 50% more than 2015. The first place winner sold almost $3000. The second and third places winners sold over $500 and $400 each. Round of applause please :)  

Company Matching - Free money for our school!:
Corporate Matching Programs match, dollar for dollar, every contribution you make to RPA. Help us to meet or exceed the $1500 we earned in Matching Funds last year!

To find out if your company has a Matching Program, contact your Human Resource and/or Employee Relations Department. Or, it is quick and easy to find out if your employer has a corporate matching program by just clicking HERE.

Get started now! If your company matches, you will need three pieces of information:

1.  Raskob Learning Institute and Day School's Tax ID #: 94-1358 307;

2.  The date you donated; and

3.  The total amount of your donation (add the amount you donate to RPA and the amount you donate for the grade level supplies.)

Also, I am here to help so if you want to send me an email at [email protected] to see if your employer matches let me know!

Fundraising Website Refresh:
A special Thank You to Vince Jurgens, RPA's Webmaster, for his amazing work on the parent association's website.
