Fund-A-Need: Audio Visual Equipment for MCCV
Help fund an Audio-Visual Media Package for the MCCV Lodge: Video Camera, Two Spotlights & painting the perimeter of the stage black. This equipment is essential for the success of the variety show and class plays, as well as the middle school theater tech program.
Maybe you couldn’t come to Jubilee, or maybe you were there and didn’t spend the money you budgeted to donate on auction items…here’s you chance to still donate!

All fund-a-need and straight donations to Jubilee are tax deductible. Mary Collins School at Cherry Valley PTA Tax ID: 23-7010172
**For any silent or live auction donations, the tax deductible amount is the difference between the value of the item and the amount donated (i.e.: value $25, donation $100 = $75 tax deductible)
