Hillcrest 2010 Benefit

The Hillcrest 2010 Benefit is just around the corner. What can I do? We need your help! Here's how:

Donate! Submit your family donation prior to September 24th, 2010 and earn cupcake points! The classes with the highest parent donation participation percentages will earn a cupcake party! What to donate? Check here for great ideas. How to donate? It's easy and saves trees! Submit your online donation here.

Volunteer! The Benefit Committee could use some extra help with ad sales, business acquisitions, online auction management (easy - no technical experience needed!), catalog editing, classroom communications, teacher donation coordinator, secret envelope (aka recyclable, compostable "balloon pop"), class contest coordinator, instant wine cellar, and day and night of event helpers. Don't be shy! These tasks take less than one to two hours per week. Contact Kelli Brown or Erika Lonergan at 2010benefit@hillcrestpta.org for more information.

Brainstorm! We'd love to hear your ideas. What would you like to bid on? Any dream green getaways? A new restaurant you'd like to try? Let us know your thoughts and ideas. Submit your ideas here.

Refer a business donation! Do you have a friend that owns a restaurant? A winery? Any other local business that would be willing to help out their friend's school? Contact one of the following to coordinate the donation before September 24th, 2010 and earn bonus points for your child's class (cupcake party!!):
