BOOSTERTHON IS 1 WEEK AWAY!
We’re only ONE week away from kicking off our Moorestown H&S Fun Run fundraiser and our school community is so excited! We’re looking forward to having fun and building community together at the event.
Fun Fact: On average, 70% of donations from this fundraiser come from outside the home. Sharing your donation page is important because it allows our school to make fundraising efforts lighter on our school families by getting support from sponsors across the country!
SHARING MADE SIMPLE: The BEST ways to help us reach our goals:
Upload a photo to generate a video where your student is a STAR alongside DUDE PERFECT!
Upload email addresses to send multiple emails with one simple click
Share to Facebook to expand your reach
PLUS, when you complete these tasks, you get entered into a drawing for a Disney Sweepstakes Trip! Learn more here
Once our campaign kicks off, keep an eye out for daily communication to make our fundraiser the most successful yet! Thank you for supporting our Home & School Association as we continue to support the MTPS - we are grateful for our amazing school communities and look forward to raising over $60,000 as a Home & School for the many events and activities we provide to the students in our district.
