WILDER ABOUT GIVING
(WAG)
Annual Cash Contribution Campaign
Funding Academic and Community Programs for our Wilder Students
What is Wilder about Giving?
Wilder about Giving is Wilder's annual cash contribution campaign where we ask parents to donate towards the PTSA. This allows us to raise money without asking you or your child to raise funds throughout the year by doing in any fundraising events, just fun events!
This year Wilder about Giving will be 100% online. You can simply go to the Wilder PTSA website (Instructions Below) and make your contribution online.
Where Does Your Cash Contribution Go?
Even though we are not physically in school, we do still have many expenses to pay. The money raised goes towards your children, their teachers, school supplies and costs associate with running the PTSA (i.e., insurance, tax preparations, teacher and specialists support, business admin, school safety and replenish the Personal Protective Equipment which we donated to Evergreen Hospital in March this year).
In addition, your contribution supports this year's online events, Science Fair, Reflections, Book Nights and hopefully the 2021 Spring Dance as well as even more!!
Our Goal
Our goal is to raise $125 per student, but contributions of any amount are appreciated. The Wilder PTSA is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization, and all contributions are tax deductible. Furthermore, if your employer provides matching funds for charitable contributions, Wilder About Giving is an eligible program. Be sure to check with your employer to find out if employer matching is available and you could double your contribution!
Exclusive Wilder Elementary Mask and Hoodie Sweatshirt
This year, the PTSA will be giving EVERY student, teacher and staff member an
Exclusive Wilder Elementary Mask.
In addition, here's what we're offering this year for your WAG contribution:
♦With a $50 contribution, your students will receive a second Wilder mask.
♦With a $125 contribution, your student will receive the additional Wilder mask plus a Wilder zip up hoodie!(How great will they look on their school TEAMS calls!)
♦If you have 2 or more students at Wilder and contribute $250 more, all of your Wilder students will receive the additional masks and zip up hoodies.
If you have any questions regarding WAG, please contact Stephanie Hale ([email protected]) or So Scazafavo ([email protected]).
Thank you for your support!
