Mary Mac PTO Alternative Fundraiser This fundraiser is in lieu of sending students home with the task of selling door­to­door, collecting money, and delivering goods. Please help us avoid that by supporting the PTO with your donation, and helping us achieve our goals to support our students and faculty. Thank you in advance for your support! ____ $15 I do not want to bake, so here is the money I would have spent on cupcakes. ____ $25 I do not want to hit up friends, family, and co­workers, so here is the money I would have spent buying wrapping paper. ____ $50 I do not want to walk, swim, or run in any activity that has the word “thon” in it. Here is the money I would have spent on my child’s “free” t­shirt. ____ $75 I don’t want to attend any fancy balls, so here is the money I would have spent on a new outfit. ____ $100 I really wouldn’t have helped anyway, so here is $100 to forget my name. $____ I am making this donation to express my appreciation for having nothing to buy, sell, or do except fill out the form above.
