WANTED: RAISE CRAZE COORDINATOR

Here is a great chance to get involved with the PTO in a fundraiser that is unlike any other. Raise Craze empowers our children and puts them in charge of their own success. The program provides an online platform that enables students to set up secure, custom websites where they request donations via email (from friends and family, near and far). During the fundraiser, students pay it forward by completing Acts of Kindness for others. They spend time serving, not selling. Regardless of ability to raise money, this inclusive approach allows everyone to participate because EVERYONE CAN SPREAD KINDNESS! They are sponsored for their acts of service and give back while they earn.

We have lots of exciting ideas for Raise Craze and are looking for a volunteer to run this program this spring. Lots of tools and support will be available! Reach out to pto@liljapto.org if you’re interested.
