This fall, the Albert Hill PTA is excited to announce a new fall fundraiser - The Big Tiger Give. This fundraiser works similarly to fundraisers Albert Hill has done in the past, but instead of using an outside company and giving up a significant portion of the funds raised, the PTA will handle this fundraiser on its own this year. This has three benefits:
Email addresses will be kept securely with the PTA - and only used for this year’s fundraiser
Contributions are tax-deductible
The PTA and school keep 100% of all donations
The Big Tiger Give is as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. Submit email addresses - friends, family, neighbors, etc.
2. Collect donations - online or in person
3. Win prizes!
All students who participate in The Big Tiger Give by submitting at least 10 email addresses will receive a prize, even if they personally raise no money, but the more money raised, the more prizes or more valuable prizes they can win. See the attached prize list for prize information.
The PTA runs two major fundraisers each year: the fall fundraiser is a simple request for donations from family and friends, and the spring fundraiser is a community yard sale. So this fundraiser will be the Albert Hill PTA’s main financial ask of the year, and the funds raised will be split equally between the PTA and the school. As we head into this season of giving, please consider donating yourself and asking family and friends to support your student and school with a donation this year.
To get started, visit: https://bit.ly/btgemails to enter email addresses, and the PTA will take it from there. See the attached letter that will be sent to the provided email addresses - it will be personalized to come directly from your student; and feel free to email/print the letter to deliver yourself.
Donations can be made through the following link: https://bit.ly/BigTigerGive. We will also accept cash or checks (made out to Albert Hill PTA); there are envelopes in the office to be used to collect in-person donations.
**The Big Tiger Give will end on Wednesday, 11/30, so please be sure all in-person donations are turned in to the office by that date. Students will be notified of total prize points earned on 12/1.
Visit https://bit.ly/BTGHome for more information about The Big Tiger Give, and please reach out to alberthillfundraising@gmail.com with any questions.
