PTO events and activities would not be available without our volunteers and the financial contribution by the Butler families. In support of our efforts, we are asking for a $15 contribution per household (Butler Family) as the means to offset the expenses for organizing and holding the events.
For those who wish, you can sponsor another Butler family’s $15 contribution. Payment is preferred through MyPaymentsPlus or submit a check with this form.
| |
YOU CAN DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT!
Please check with your company to see if they offer a “Donor Match” program. In some cases, companies will match your contribution, so your $15 becomes $30!
