Four Things Parents Should Know about the CPMS 5K

1.  The 5K is the Cedar Park PTC’s only fundraiser.  

Forget the extended magazine sales or monthly dining nights.  Your parent-teacher club (PTC) is getting it done RIGHT NOW, so we can spend the rest of the year relaxing & watching our hard-earned donations being spent on our kids.  

2. Donors have payment options-- online or donation envelope.  

Families can set-up an online Firstgiving fundraising page & solicit donors from family & friends across America.  But if you’d rather just keep it old school & write us a check (or stuff a little cash in an envelope), we’ll take that too. Either way, it’s tax deductible!!

3. The 5K provides some pretty cool stuff that KEEPS CEDAR PARK AWESOME.   

This 5K does it all– bulking up the robotics lab, supplementing our after-school clubs, providing transportation for educational field trips, and most importantly, filling in those gaps where the regular school budget just ain’t cutting it.  HERE'S HOW LAST YEAR'S FUNDS WERE PUT TO GOOD USE.

Want nitty gritty? Head to www.cedarparkptc.org/business to poke through our financials.

4. We need parents to make the day LEGENDARY.

The 5K team has got some pretty awesome ideas in their back pocket (one word:  FLAMINGOS) but we can’t pull it off without YOU. Take a moment to sign-up for a shift to make magic happen on 10/4. 

Got your background check figured out?  All your info is at www.cedarparkptc.org/volunteering.

 

Ready to get started online?

Head to our 5K Firstgiving website, where you can build a simple and secure online fundraising page for your student, and qualify them for next week's Top Golf raffle.

Keep it up, Timberwolves!  The countdown continues to our 5K on October 4th.
