Each year the St. Ambrose PTO holds a Pledge Drive to raise money and minimize the stress and burden of fundraising. The Pledge Drive provides families with a tax-deductible method of donating to the PTO, while simultaneously eliminating the need for each class to conduct a fundraiser for the PTO. Feedback from families consistently indicates approval of this approach, which facilitates additional family time and enables parents to spend their precious volunteer hours dedicated to events that are more likely to interest them and involve direct contact with their children in the educational setting.
The suggested Pledge Amount is $550 per family; many families have given more and many families have given less. Please complete the Pledge Form by committing to donate an amount and a donation time frame that best suits your family’s personal situation. Our goal is 100% participation in the Pledge Drive. Your generous gift will allow us to keep our extremely low tuition rates, and free us up to spend time with our children, our school, and our church.
In addition to making a pledge to the school, learn more about how to make your everyday shopping work for the school. Check out the many ways to provide money to the school simply through your normal shopping routine.
We thank you for your continued support and generosity!
