Montclaire
Educational Foundation (MEF) Fundraising
MEF Raised
$400,000 Last Year
Your
financial contributions to MEF support programs and provide valuable teaching
resources to improve the quality of education for our children at Montclaire.
These key programs fund MEF efforts: Individual Contributions with Corporate
Matching, the Spring Walk-A-Thon and Silent Auction (WATSA), eScrip, Amazon,
and Klutz.
Individual
Contributions
Every
family is asked to make an individual contribution for each child at
Montclaire, hopefully with matching funds from employers. Please complete the
contribution form if you have not done
so already.
Spring Walk-A-Thon and Silent Auction (WATSA)
MEF sponsors the annual Montclaire Walk-A-Thon and Silent Auction, which
is scheduled for Saturday, April 9, 2011 this school year. Students raise
money by getting sponsors to pledge contributions for laps they walk. Parents
and community members can find many great items to purchase at the Silent
Auction. The Walk-A-Thon and Silent Auction is a day of fun and community
building. Questions about WATSA? Contact Joy Erf at joyerf@yahoo.com
Use Amazon.com to
Support MEF
Start
your Amazon search at www.amazon-mef.com.
When you begin there, any Amazon purchase you make credits MEF 4-8%. There is no special registration, just
start at the MEF link and do your Amazon shopping as usual. Share this link with your friends and
family and their purchases will bring funds to Montclaire as well.
eScrip
There
are over 800 merchants that will give money to Montclaire! Sign up at www.escrip.com
using our school ID #138055819. Once
you have registered, Montclaire will get a percentage of each purchase you
make. Friends and family can register
as well to earn funds for our school.
If you have any questions, please contact Kim Cox kimberlykcox@yahoo.com
Corporate
Matching: A Zero Cost Contribution
Each
year, corporate matching donations are an important source of funds for MEF. Please check
with your company to see if they offer any matching funds. Many of the companies have put their
donation process online so it’s paperless and easy. You fill out the online request at work,
MEF and your company does the rest.
You can also donate stock to MEF.
If you have any questions, please contact Jill Aufricht at aufricht@sbcglobal.net
