Fundraising Information and Events
Irvington Cooperative Preschool depends on volunteer labor, fees, tuition, grants and fundraising to operate. However, to provide one of the most affordable monthly tuition fees in the city, the preschool relies heavily on fundraising. The fundraising events for the year are: The Flutter Run
The Flutter Run kicks off the Fall Family Potluck in September. Similar to Portland Public Schools Run for the Arts, the Flutter Run is a sponsored fun walk/run. Each child receives a pledge sheet with the handbook and gathers sponsors who pledge a set amount of money for evey lap the child completes during the time allowed or they can pledge a fixed amount regardless of how many laps the child runs. The total amount each child raises applies to the family's fundraising goal. The Wreath Sale
At the October General Membership meeting, the Fundraising Committee gives each family a holiday wreath sale fundraiser packet that includes color brochures, order forms, receipts, and information regarding prices and shipping. Our supplier provides nearly wholesale-priced garlands, swags and three sizes of wreaths with delivery by Thanksgiving. Each family sells the product at retail prices. The profit applies to the fundraising goal.
Chinook Books
Chinook Book is a one-of-a-kind resource — a coupon book, a directory, a source of ideas and inspiration. We will be selling them as an on-going fundraiser from October — March. Ten dollars per book sold is applied to the family's fundraising goal. Rummage Sale
Start saving your gently used, but no longer wanted, children's clothing, baby gear, toys, books, household items and furniture for the spring rummage sale! The stated value of the goods each family donates counts towards their yearly fundraising goal. Each family will be required to work four hours at the sale or during set-up and clean-up. These hours do not count towards community hours. Contact Vice Presidents of Fundraising if you have questions: Lulu Barker, 503-233-2355 or lulu@easystreet.com Jennifer Lew, 503-493-1377 or jendlew@hotmail.com
