We appreciate your time and support to make these events great for our students.
| | | CONTRIBUTE TO HELP SUPPORT PTO PROGRAMS & EVENTS | |
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.
*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! Below is a list of some companies that had a corporate match program in the past. Be sure to ask, as some companies require you donate a certain amount of money before they will match. Companies: Ally Financial Inc., Bank of America, Carter’s Inc., Charles River, Citigroup, Clemens Family Corporation, Comcast, Coca Cola Company, Endo International, First Weber Group, Glaxo Smith Kline, Harsco Corporation, Highmark, IBM, IQVIA, Johnson & Johnson, Kinder Morgan Inc., Life Scan, Merck & Co., Prudential Financial Inc., Target, United Health Group Incorporated, and many more.
