COST

district to support this activity. We are a school sponsored, not fully funded, activity.

• We are asking families to make a donation for the cost of their student. • Whatever families are not able to donate, we as a booster organization

fundraise. Inability to donate does not affect ability to participate in the activity. BUT the lack of donations, will limit what the whole group can do.

• You can make donations by check, paypal, credit card or cash. All donations are tax deductible because the boosters are a 501(c)(3).

• We are also very happy to take installments, $500 is a big deal to most families, we understand that.
