The September Pledge Drive is going on right now! This is our biggest fundraiser of the year! Annually, the Friends of Playa Booster Club fundraising goal is $150,000, and we usually raise half that, that's $75,000, with our Pledge Drive. Playa del Rey Elementary is one of the smallest LAUSD elementary schools in Los Angeles. With only 267 students, we must fundraise for all enrichment activities including Music, Art, Drama, Garden Education and Nutrition, PE and more. We need your help to support our students' extended learning opportunities. In that spirit, our school self-funds these co-curricular programs by fundraising throughout the year.
We typically ask all families to contribute during Pledge Drive and although the suggested donation amount is $750 per family, as always, ANY amount is impactful and greatly appreciated. No amount is too big or too small. Our goal is for 100% of our families to participate.
INCENTIVES!
Supporting the mission of Playa del Rey Elementary and funding these vital programs for our children should be reason enough to donate, but to sweeten the deal, the following incentives are currently available:
You can click on the Pledge Drive DONATE button below to make a one-time donation or set up a monthly recurring contribution via credit card. Don't forget to note your student's name and room number with your donation.
Other payment options via Venmo @Friends-of-Playa or Paypal to [email protected] are available as well.
Thank you for sponsoring our school and the programs that benefit your child and all of our students.
