About Our Fundraising
A note from the President: Home & School Fundraising
​
Did you know that last year we put over $150,000 to work in our community? Events like field days and author visits, equipment like an Interactive Floor Projector, and scholarships for graduating seniors are just a few examples of our impact. We also funded assemblies, school celebrations, community service opportunities, staff appreciation, and so much more. On top of financial investments, THOUSANDS of volunteer hours from our members contributed to thriving school communities. Thank you for being an important part of this impact.
This year, we hope to raise significant funds once again, but we are adjusting our fundraising plans. We have decided NOT to hold Boosterthon in Spring 2026. Boosterthon is an incredibly important and successful fundraiser for Home & School, but we’ve heard your feedback and want to try something new. In its place, we will hold a Week of Giving in April 2026. This will be a time limited campaign with a clear, trackable goal to encourage individuals to contribute to support our mission. We will utilize social media and digital campaigns to mobilize supporters, amplify our message, and rally community engagement from across the district for this concentrated fundraising effort.
Lots more information will be coming, but we wanted to be clear about our fundraising program so you could consider your personal philanthropy plans for support of Home & School during the 2025-2026 school year.
In addition to the Week of Giving, you’ll have multiple opportunities to support us including:
-
Dine & Donate (a portion of your purchase supports Home & School - next one on 10/9 at Crust & Fire Mt Laurel)
-
Miss Chocolate Fall Fundraiser (runs through 10/11)
-
Black & Gold Social (a cocktail party on November 13)
-
Giving Tuesday on December 2
With your support, we’ll be able to continue to enhance and strengthen our local schools with the funds raised during this exciting year.
Thank you so much for being a part of Moorestown Home & School as we work together for our kids!
With gratitude,
​​
