FUNDRAISER TOOL KIT
You’re now a part of All Saints PTO’s sixth annual walk-a-thon fundraiser, the Shamrock-A-Thon. From
grades K-8th, in a true act of teamwork, amazing students and families like yours are fundraising
together in support of All Saints School.
On Friday, September 20, 2019 students and volunteers will celebrate through a physically active,
fun-filled day. However, you can contribute so much more than just participating in the walk. 100%
of the money you help raise will directly support PTO enrichment programs in technology, science,
music and art, helping to purchase additional classroom materials, a variety of equipment for the
playground, and much more!
This guide contains everything you need to know about the Shamrock-A-Thon and how to make
your fundraising a success.
Thank you for helping our school, one step at a time.
Jenny Munafo Jessica Cannon
All Saints PTO President Shamrock-A-Thon Committee Chairperson
