Giving Campaign Kickoff
Dear Fammatre Families,
This week is the kick off of the Annual Fammatre Home & School Club's (HSC) Giving Campaign. The Giving Campaign is our largest fund raiser where 100% of donations go directly to the students and in which donations are tax deductible. Regardless of age, grade, or academic level, the contribution you make to the Giving Campaign will positively benefit your child’s experience at Fammatre this academic year.
To maintain the level of experience of past years, we recommend a contribution of $300 per child.
Ways to donate:
- Online – https://www.cambriansd.org/site/Default.aspx?PageID=338 and use the donate button. This will provide you with an option for payment with PayPal, Credit or Debit card
- Venmo - You can make your donation directly to @Fammatre-HSC
- Check – Checks are made payable to Fammatre HSC and please include “Giving Campaign” in the comments section. Complete the Donation and Corporate Matching Form and include it with your check and leave in the school office or mail it directly to the Fammatre office - 2800 New Jersey Ave, San Jose, CA 95124.
- Company Portal – Please see our Q&A document for more details regarding corporate donation portals or corporate matching.
Each week in the newsletter I will provide more details about the HSC programs and the fundraising status towards our goal to raise $50,000. Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at SJfamily4D@gmail.com
We would like to thank you in advance for your contribution and the enhancement of all our children’s education.
