Dear Baldwin Families,

This October, we’re keeping fundraising simple with our NO Hassle Fundraiser

XX No wrapping paper sales XX
XX No chocolate bars XX
XX No door-to-door raffle tickets XX

Instead, we’re asking you to just give—a direct donation that goes right back to supporting our Bobcats.

Our goal: $20,000
We’d love to see $100 per family, but we know not everyone can give that amount. Truly—no amount is too small or too large. Every dollar counts and goes directly to programs, events, and resources that benefit our Baldwin students and teachers (teacher reimbursement program, BLAST dyslexia materials, professional development, family programming such as BINGO Night, and so much more)!

Weekly Friday Drawings
Each Friday in October, we’ll draw a prize winner from that week’s donors—so the sooner you give, the more chances you’ll have to win!

Donate today, and share this fundraiser with grandparents, family, friends, and even employers who may want to support our school community.

Together, we can reach $20,000 and show our Bobcat pride!

Thank you for your generosity,
Baldwin Elementary PTA
