What is the Annual Beagle Contribution?

What is the Annual Beagle Contribution?

The Annual Beagle Contribution is Rockwell’s biggest PTA fundraiser for the year. Instead of asking parents and students to buy or sell cookie dough, wrapping paper, or raffle tickets, we ask you to contribute directly to the PTA. Your contribution helps to fund the 40+ programs the PTA sponsors throughout the year. Your contributions to the PTA are crucial to the academic enrichment of our student population.

The PTA is 100% funded by parents’ contributions and matching corporate donations.

HOW MUCH SHOULD I CONTRIBUTE?

The suggested contribution is $175 per student for the 2023-2024 school year.  This is the best way to ensure that we will have the necessary funding for our programs this year. For example if you have 2 students attending Rockwell this year, we suggest that you contribute a total of $300 or $150 per student.

Norman Rockwell PTA is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, so your contributions are tax-deductible.

  • Please make the check out to “Norman Rockwell PTA,” and write “Annual Beagle Contribution” in the memo line.

When Should I Contribute?

September is the best time to donate, because it allows the PTA to know the budget for the school year, and allocate funds accordingly.

Of course, we also accept donations throughout the year.

THANK YOU very much for your financial support!
