It’s the season of giving and CPCS is running its first annual Bake-less Bake Sale through December 31! What does that mean? Instead of asking for help baking cakes and pies and cookies and inviting people to purchase them, we’re requesting the donations straight to our school. This is the perfect time to share the love you have for CPCS and help us reach out to supporters in our community who want to share the love too!
As a fun and lighthearted incentive, we’re offering prizes to the class that raises the most money and the class that has the highest quantity of donations. If we reach our goal, all students and families will be invited for a free movie night at CPCS!
Our goal is to raise $10K, and we know we can get there with the support from all of you! We ask that you share this fundraiser as far and wide as you can utilizing this link: https://givebutter.com/CPCSBakelessBakeSale
Be sure your donors select your student’s teacher for their class to receive the credit.
More information on donations can be found at this link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cy11uToFtr6CWay6CLMe_5onGvpazJkv2iO5SO5HuJs/edit?usp=sharing
