Fundraisers
Our Main Fundraisers
Pledge Drive
September
The Pledge Drive is an opportunity for you, your family, friends, and employer to help support our school without requiring any time commitment. Raising an average of $250 per student helps us assure we can maintain the goal of continuing PTC funding each year.
Additional funds are appreciated as not every family can donate.
Questions? Contact Rebecca Contín or Jessy Beckett Parr at pledge@delaveagaptc.org
Walk-A-Thon
March
At our annual Walk-a-Thon, DeLaveaga recieves 100% of the money raised! Kids gather pledges from family and friends and see how many laps they can complete in the allotted time. This is a great fundraiser to participate in as you get to support and cheer on all the kids as they work hard to raise money for their school.

Goodwill Truck
October & March
Here is your moment! Clean out the garage, reorganize those closets, and bring all your unwanted items down to the school. We will have a Goodwill truck parked for one weekend waiting to take all those items off your hands. Let your neighbors, friends, and family know too! We make money for every truck we fill.

Dine-to-Donate
Throughout the year we partner with local restaurants to choose a date that our DeLa families can eat out and have part of the proceeds of their meal go toward PTC.
These events will be highlighted in our monthly newsletters and posted on the events page once they are scheduled.
