OMMS PTO Feed the Need Announcement

Students,
Congratulations to our winner today….Brian S won 2 $50 gift cards by raising $250 for our fundraiser! You can win, too! All you have to do is sign up, call, text, or email friends and family and ask them to donate to our school and to “Feed the Need.” We are a LONG way away from our goal of $100,000….but it doesn’t have to stay that way. If each student would raise just $100,  then we would not only reach our goal but exceed our goal! So get out there, start asking for donations and start helping our school! 

Tomorrow, anyone who has raised $300 will get a chance to win an even bigger prize than today….we’re gonna offer you the chance to win a Nintendo switch, a GoPro, or Apple AirPods! Make sure you’re a part of that drawing by signing up and asking friends and family to donate. We know you can do it! 

If you or someone you know, is interested in being a corporate sponsor check out the attached flyer for tons of marketing opportunities!
