Last year we raised over $26,000! Those funds were used to fund teacher grants, student enrichment events, and other school improvements. This year our goal is to raise $20,000 - or more!!!
Each student received, via email, an invitation to their own personal fundraising page via 99 Pledges. This allows for cashless donations and for local and non-local friends and family to donate to our cause. If you did not receive an invitation via, please contact Lisa Thomas at fundraising@edisonmspta.org.
The Edison PTA is 100% volunteer-powered and 100% dependent on fundraising. Our PTA works throughout the year to raise money to fund many of Edison’s enriching events and activities for our children.
