Ravenswood Elementary’s annual Spring Forward Fundraiser is going on now! This is the school’s largest fundraiser of the year, and proceeds go entirely toward funding the future of all Ravenswood Elementary students. We’ll be raising money from now through May 4th, and will celebrate our success, and our wonderful school, with an outdoor block party at the school on May 4th.
Spring Forward funds will be used to support core necessities, as well as school enhancements not covered by CPS. This year, we are raising money to support After School Programming. The grant which funded After School Programming for our school has ended, and without your support, we will no longer be able to offer these essential after-school opportunities.
Act fast to double your donation! A handful of generous community members have challenged us all to pitch in to support our school. If we’re able to raise $25,000 by May 4, this group of anonymous donors will match that amount, dollar-for-dollar!
This means that every dollar you give between now and May 4 will go twice as far to support our students! Your donation of $50 will become $100. Your donation of $250 will become $500. Your donation of $500 will become $1,000!
Save the date for our Spring Forward celebration! At the culmination of the fundraising campaign, we’ll come together as a community and hold our annual Spring Forward Block Party on Saturday, May 4th.
The Spring Forward party will feature food, drinks, live music and entertainment, sign ups for experience parties, Ravensbooks and Yearbooks, and much more. If you’d like to join in the planning effort, please email fors@ravenswoodelementary.org today! And if you’d like to host an experience party, please sign up - we love a great party!
