Fundraising Events at Baldwin
In order to fund all of the many programs and events at Baldwin each year, the PTA raises funds through several fundraisers:
Fall Carnival
The annual fall carnival is our biggest PTA fundraiser of the year. Numerous activities and games are offered for children and families with the purchase of individual tickets or all-inclusive wristbands. Many good options are also available in the cafeteria. Several coordinators and committees are needed to execute this event.
HEB "Get Carded" Gift Card Drive
Baldwin Elementary participates in a grocery card cash back program with HEB. The school can make 4-5% on all gift cards sold throughout the year. Families sign up to purchase and receive gift cards on a monthly basis.
Baldwin Bash (Spring)
The Baldwin Bash party is the last major fundraiser for the year. In March, Baldwin parents will gather for one for a night of food and fun. Tickets will be sold and a silent auction will be conducted during the event to raise money for the school.
Love Your School No-Hassle fundraiser
To raise money for the school, the PTA holds an annual “no-hassle” donation drive in February. This donation drive is in lieu of other fundraising efforts such as gift wrap, cookie dough, candle sales, etc.
Restaurant Nights
Several local restaurants will donate a percentage of sales from Baldwin customers back to the school.
Spiritwear Sales
In order to foster Baldwin school spirit, bobcat themed merchandise is purchased and sold to our school community.
Applebee's Pancake Breakfast
The annual pancake breakfast at Applebee’s occurs in August before school starts. Families have a chance to come have breakfast and get to know the teachers while raising money for the school.
Directory Sales
Each year, a student and staff directory is compiled and sold for $5. Each directory includes important dates, a map of the school, and student/family contact information organized by teacher and grade.
Partners in Education Sponsorship
The Partners in Education (PIE) program fosters partnerships between local businesses and the school which generate monetary donations in support of the school.
To raise the funds necessary, we need YOU, our parent volunteers, to get involved. Remember that volunteering not only benefits your kids, but will enrich the classroom, the whole school, and the entire community by providing students with positive interaction, support, and encouragement.
