McKinley PTO Play Deck Fundraiser!
We will be selling Play! Milwaukee decks of cards as a fundraiser to support the McKinley PTO.
Play! Milwaukee is a deck of 21 cards to 21 family fun places in the Milwaukee area. Each adorable card offers an amazing deal, and, in total, the entire fun-filled deck boasts over $400 in savings. Every family needs one of these decks to keep them busy, having fun and saving money!
Each deck will almost pay for itself if you simply use the YoMama, buy 1 get 1 free yogurt cups (up to 4)! Each deck costs $25. The McKinley PTO will earn $5 for each deck sold. Learn more about the decks at www.playyourcity.org
This fundraiser will end on January 25, so be sure to get yours before the deadline!
