Pass the Hat for the Kids of Blackwell

 

What is Pass the Hat?

When is a fundraiser both easy and rewarding?  When you participate in Pass the Hat.  This program directs your monetary donations directly to your Blackwell PTSA.  It’s that simple.

  

Who does the money help?

Your financial contribution makes many of the things we’ve come to expect and enjoy at Blackwell possible. A glimpse of where your money goes: field trip buses, assemblies, curriculum aids, Art Start, math events, safety patrol, and library books… just to name a few. For these programs and purchases to continue, we need your support.

 

What should I give?

We simply ask that each family make a donation to the best of their ability.   We are sometimes asked, “How much should my family give?”  We have been successful in the past by setting a goal of $100 per family.  Please know that all levels of donation are greatly appreciated!  Remember, your donations are tax deductible and we’ll be glad to provide you with a receipt.

 

How do I make my contribution?

There are several easy ways to contribute:

 

  • Simply send a check made out to Blackwell PTSA.  You may return it in your child’s school folder (a.k.a. “kid mail”) or send it via U.S. mail to Blackwell.  Please complete and include the attached form. 

 

  •  Remember, many employers will match their employee’s philanthropic contribution, making your money go twice as far!!!  Just check with your employer(s) and submit a “matching funds” form, usually found on the company’s employee website.  

 

  • Microsoft employees: Please ensure your charitable contributions are matched by going to http://give/ and from there clicking on the match now! button in the right hand column. This will connect you directly to the corporate easymatch site.

 

  • Please direct any questions regarding you matching request to your Human Resources Department as, due to privacy reasons, the PTSA is unable to access this information/form on your behalf.

 

 

On behalf of the teachers and students of Blackwell, thank you in advance for your contribution

and support of our learning community.  Your generosity does make a difference!
