South Florida Preschool PTA

Child Advocacy and Mother's Support Group

Fundraising

The fundraising committee raises money to cover the general operating costs of the South Florida Preschool PTA such as rent for our monthly meeting site, speakers and committee budgets.  However, we also help those in need in our community.  Through our Community Service programs we reach out to help the young mothers staying on at school at the Dorothy M. Wallace COPE Center; we provide Scholarships to deserving women with preschool age children so that they may begin or continue their college education and much, much more!

 

If you would like to make a difference in the lives of others then take a look at our fundraising activities.  We have fundraisers to save you money with discount cards and books, to de-clutter your home through our recycling scheme or garage sale and even on-line fundraisers that you can sign up to right now before you log-off!

Save Money: Raise Money


 

Macy’s Shop for a Cause

Macy’s allows non-profit organizations to sell 20% Discount Coupons for their

bi-annual Shop for Cause days for $5.00.  On the day of the sale, we get a table where we can sell additional coupons throughout the day.  You get great savings and we get to keep all the proceeds from the sale of the coupons.

 

Reduce   Re-Use   Recycle!

Annual Garage Sale

In February, the SFPPTA holds an annual garage sale.  Donating all your unwanted clothes, household goods, baby items, furniture, books, etc., is a great way to clean out your closets and garage and donate to a great cause at the same time.  Please remember to donate items that you would like to purchase yourself.  Bring your clothes in good condition (clean, please!) and on a hanger to make it easier to organize and sell.  It is also helpful to bring toys with all the pieces in a clear plastic bag to keep things organized.

Empties for Cash

We have partnered with Empties4Cash to recycle our used inkjet and laser cartridges. Bring them to our meetings and we will send them to Empties4Cash to easily raise money for the SFPPTA.

Creative Kids

Square 1 Art

Create a beautiful keepsake, take care of your Holiday gift list and raise money for the SFPPTA all at the same time! 

Bring your children along to create a piece of art on an 8 x 8 piece of paper and the Square 1 Art team can transfer it  to greeting cards, coffee cups, aprons, magnets, calendars, etc.  The art is absolutely adorable and will be very easy, as members will help the children through the creation of the artwork.  And best of all, the SFPPTA will receive back a percentage of the proceeds to boost our fundraising!
