Central 100% Fundraising Roadrunner

100% goes to Central!  100% is tax deductible!

This year, lower your taxable income with a check to the Central PTO-before December 31, 2009.  Giving to the Central 100% Fund directly benefits your children with terrific PTO sponsored programs and activities that enrich their education all year long.  Your entire contribution is a tax write-off since the Central PTO is a 501(c) (3) charitable organization.

So far, there has been good response to the 100% Fund.  We have collected over $6,000 towards our yearly goal of $10,000 and we sincerely thank those of you who have contributed so generously!  Giving is optional, but without your support we can’t fund the PTO.

Parents are encouraged to contribute a suggested amount of $100 per family, but any amount is greatly appreciated and will be well utilized.  Please donate now for your 2009 deduction!

Ask your employer about making a matched donation!

Please make checks payable to Central PTO and return to school office by 12/31/09 to secure your tax deduction.
