By bringing programs to the students instead of taking the students to the programs, we are able to save thousands of dollars on transporta tion costs each year and minimize time spent away from school. These savings mean that we can bring even MORE great things to JFB! Thank you for participating in our fundraising efforts to help provide these services to our children.

Dear ________________________,

It’s time for my school’s annual fall fundraiser! Rather than creating the illusion of value by selling you stuffyou don't need, we're asking you to create a few Magic Moments around school by directly contributing tosome of our most important educational programs. This allows my school to keep 100% of the profits! Themoney is used to bring nearly 30 in-school programs to my school this year. My teachers have helped pickedthese programs to enhance what they are teaching me in class. My classmates and I will be rewarded withassembly featuring Circus Mojo to celebrate doing our best during this fundraiser. My personal goal is to raise$50 so I can receive different prizes AND get to attend a bonus workshop with the Circus Mojo crew where I willget to learn my very own circus trick. Will you consider helping me reach my goal? Any amount you give willbe greatly appreciated.Donations can be made 2 ways:

1. Cash or checks (made payable to JF Burns PTO) are accepted. Please be sure to put my name in thesubject line so I am sure to get credit for your donation. I must have my money turned in by September

19 th , so please be sure to get it back to me before then.2. You can donate with a credit card or PayPal account. Simply visit my school website to donate:
