It’s the easiest way to earn money for our school! Each year, Hillcrest earns thousands of dollars by partnering with businesses that contribute a portion of their proceeds to our school when we shop or dine there. We encourage you to support these businesses and help raise valuable dollars for Hillcrest.
We ask that every family help us in our fundraising goals by participating in these programs. Consider making it a family effort by recruiting grandparents and friends – anyone throughout the country can participate in these programs to benefit our PTA. If you have questions about any of these programs, please contact Aaron Rosenberger at merchant_programs@hillcrestpta.org.
