FUNDRAISING

 

Fundraising is critical to the successful operation of the Bonnie Doon Playschool and helps keep costs low for parents. 

 

The playschool’s major fundraising event is a casino, whose funds contribute to the bulk of the school’s operating budget, held every second year. During a casino year, each family must provide one volunteer for the casino per child (the volunteer does not have to be a family member). This is non-negotiable. If your family is unwilling to provide a volunteer for, or is not represented at the casino, your child will be withdrawn from the program immediately unless you pay an opt out fee of $800. While this may seem strict, the success of the playschool is almost entirely dependent on funds raised from the casino.

 

During a casino year there will be one additional fundraiser and during non-casino years there will be two fundraisers with a minimum fundraising requirement of $150 per child per event or an opt out fee of $100 per child per non-casino fundraising event. Participation by all playschool families is essential to fundraising success.
