MUSTANG MONEY DONATION REQUEST
What is Mustang Money?
Mustang Money is Fireside’s fall fundraiser that will
run from Tuesday, September 6th through Friday,
October 7th. It is a direct-ask campaign that allows
the PTO to pay for things that are not fully covered
by the school budget. We understand that families
are busy. Fundraising products, such as candles,
wrapping paper and cookie dough, add an extra
time commitment when families are already
strapped for time.
How much $ is the Mustang Money donation?
SUGGESTED DONATION AMOUNT: $50/child or $100/family
We ask that you donate in the amount you feel comfortable.
No amount is too small.
