Dear NAM Families,
On Friday, October 17, we kick off our Raise Craze fundraiser! This is a unique way for us to raise money for our school while making an impact in our community. During this fundraiser, students ask friends and family for donations via the online Raise Craze platform while paying it forward serving others. What a great way for us to teach our students the importance of kindness and gratitude while raising much needed funds. Students will spend time serving, not selling!
REGISTER: https://raisecraze.com/join CODE: 121-225
- Enter your student’s name
- Select at least 3 Acts of Kindness
- Enter 5-10 email addresses of potential supporters. Raise Craze will send all emails, reminders and thank you notes. Emails will never be shared with third parties or used for marketing.
At A Glance:
Dates: October 17 – October 30
Our Goal: $30,000 for 30 years of NAM!
Every student can participate in Raise Craze by completing Acts of Kindness (AOK) so we’re aiming for 100% participation. Together, if we raise $30,000, our very own Mr. Fehringer will shave his head!!
