Burr PTO Annual Wolf Fund Campaign 

- Donate Today!



The Burr School PTO’s annual campaign - The Wolf Fund - is starting and we need your help!


This annual fundraising campaign provides the majority of the funding for PTO activities -
cultural and community events (BooFest, May Fair, World Cultures Fair, etc.) and Creative Arts
and science programs in the classrooms.

Last year, the Burr School PTO spent $129 per student at Burr and ensured that all students
could participate in PTO and school-sponsored events.

Our Goals This Year:


Raise $22,000 through the Wolf Fund
with 50% of Burr School families giving any amount



Here’s how you can help:

Give: There is no such thing as a small donation—every dollar counts towards our goals and
truly makes a difference. And your donation is tax-deductible!

● Give $100 and receive a Burr School Magnet
● Give $150 and receive a Burr School Magnet + Burr T-Shirt for your kids enrolled at Burr

Ask Your Employer to Match: Ask “Does our company provide matching
charitable contributions?” to get some free money for Burr!

Talk it Up!: Spread the word among Burr families about why you give to the Wolf Fund.
Thank you for helping to build a community at Burr where all our children and families can
learn, grow and play!


Your gift of any amount helps support our Burr School community!
