Welcome to our Raise Craze fundraiser!
The Raise Craze ANNUAL DIRECT GIVE CAMPAIGN is Bagley PTA's largest fundraising effort of the year. During this fundraiser, students decide what acts of kindness (AOKs) they will perform, then ask friends and family to support them through donations via the online Raise Craze platform. What a great way for us to teach our students the importance of kindness and gratitude while raising much-needed funds! Students and supporters alike can track progress on AOKs online. Won’t you help us reach our goal?
AT A GLANCE:
Campaign Goal: $55,000 direct giving + $10,000 corporate matching
Dates: Thursday, October 10 – Friday, October 25, 2019
