Fundraising Activities
|
Many enrichment activities and items found throughout the Center have been made possible by Fundraising Committee initiatives. To augment the income from childcare fees, our fundraising program includes grants, product sales, and the annual Spring Fling auction. Of course, we don’t expect every family to participate every time in every fundraiser, but we hope you’ll take a look at the list of what we offer throughout the year and choose at least a couple that interest you!
Who are we? The Committee is a group of New Day Board members and parents along with Megan Dyer and Anne (Stone) Forbes. Current members include Kaleigh Boulio-Alberry, Karen Freeman, Keely Barney, Gabby Thompson and Jean Gianfagna. We meet monthly and welcome participation from parents! How much is raised?
The incredible participation of parents, Board members, community members, friends & family is exponential and brought New Day nearly $20,000 in proceeds in 2017-2018: Kelly Oatman Golf Tournament Yankee Candle Tupperware World's Finest Chocolate Sale Spring Fling Where do the proceeds go?
Last year’s funds were used to upgrade several classrooms, add storage to one office and replace the the flooring in the other office. We also paid for some painting, new sinks and cupboards, and a new changing table for Ms. Tammy's room. We were able to provide several enrichment activities for the children enrolled without having to pass those costs onto our parents.Over the years, fundraising dollars have been used to upgrade the kitchen, purchase new bye-bye buggies, replace the carpeting in all the classrooms and, several years ago, were used to build our wonderful, natural playground. How do I participate? Information on each fundraising activity will be available in your mailbox and online. Of course participation is not required, but we hope you will choose to support our program in some way. Don’t want to participate, but still want to support?
