Eighth Annual Browning Elementary PTA Balloon Launch
Direct Donation Fundraiser
Thursday, October 31, 2013
Join us for the Balloon Launch 11am October 31
Donations due by November 15 to be eligible for prizes!
How does this raise money for our school?
Our goal is to raise one $40 donation per family. Our hope is that each family will participate at some level. Grandparents, aunts/uncles, etc. can also contribute towards your family’s goal
of $40. Understanding that every family’s circumstance is different, please make a contribution that is best for your family. Families who raise $60 will be entered to win a getaway to Kalahari Resort in Sandusky, Ohio! Want better odds of winning? One entry for every $60 raised!!!
How does the Balloon Launch work?
Each Browning student will simultaneously launch a green balloon on Oct. 31 with a biodegradable card (with his/her first name and classroom) requesting that the finder return the card pre-addressed to Browning Elementary. It is a spectacular display! As the balloon cards are returned to school, they will be tracked for distance, mapped in the school hallway, broadcast on the morning announcements, and returned to your child. Donations are due by Friday, November 15 to be eligible for prizes. The winner of the Kalahari Resort prize package will be announced on Friday, November 22!
Benefits of the Balloon Launch:
• Proceeds go directly to students for field trips, on-site learning opportunities, Family Fun events, supplemental learning materials (books, classroom supplies, etc.), playground improvements, & much more.
• Every child is included. ALL children launch a balloon!
• Students look forward to cards that are returned, even if the cards are not their own.
• It does not matter if you have one child or five, your donation counts for all of them.
As always, we greatly appreciate your support!
