212 Gift Cards Need Sponsors By MONDAY!
Ends November 13
We currently need sponsors for 212 gift cards! Can you help?
Our goal is to provide $50 per child for a gift as well as$50 per family for groceries, and add more if we can! Families have shared that they GREATLY appreciate the gift card format so they are able to select their own gifts and meal items for their families.
This year we invite all sponsors to select from the following options:
- sponsor individual families by purchasing gift cards, or
- donate ANY AMOUNT to our online fund, or
- contribute winter accessories, or
- any combination of the above!
100% of all goods/funds received will go to the 2022 Holiday Helpers program.
We plan to distribute the gift cards in mid-November (which is soon!) so that families can take advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday when selecting gifts for their children. We need your help to make this timeline work. Please share this information with everyone you know!
We wish you much joy and good health this holiday season,
Westbrook & Glen Grove PTA
