Fundraising Sign-Up Parties!!

What are they? Parent led and organized parties that occur throughout the year with the goal of raising money for McKenzie. It’s a great way to meet new parents and have fun while raising money for the school. The budget and theme for the parties is determined by the host party parents. The parents can be adult only parties, or kid parties. The parties can be scheduled from October through the summer of 2022. Who is up to host and have a party with a purpose?

Feel free to reach out to CJ Leahy (cjalldressedup@yahoo.com) or Mary Fratini (mary.fratini@yahoo.com) to confirm details of Sign of party including party theme, date, and details around next steps. Please note: Sign up parties’ commitment goal is by October 10th. We plan to launch Click Bid for Sign Up Parties by October 17th. Details do not need to be flushed out this early, we just need to confirm your interest and approximate event dates to launch Click Bid. We raised $37,000 from Sign Up parties during the 2019/2020 school year!
