Everything you need to know about the Adventure On Fundraiser & Community Event! This event is our MAJOR FUNDRAISER of the school year, and is our way of kicking off the year with a fun community gathering! Fundraising takes place in the weeks leading up to the event (September 11th-22nd) and the event is our means of celebrating all the efforts by coming together as a community! Fundraising will be done online.
Your PTSA donations support the many educational programs, events and grants we offer throughout our school. To provide the support to our school and children, to make certain programs and events possible, and to bridge the gap between public funds and actual expenses, we need to raise money. Cascade Ridge PTSA funds over $67,000 in programs, equipment, classroom supplies, and services each year that benefit our students. Programs and events like Trunk or Treat, Science Fair, Art Docents, and many others would not exist without PTSA funds.
The event is on Friday, September 22nd from 5-7pm on Cascade Ridge school grounds.
This is a family event, so please plan to attend with your child or send them with a responsible adult. Friends and family are welcome to join! Your child should go home from school as usual on the 22nd, and then return with family or chaperones at 5pm.
This year's theme is Adventure On: a community celebration of exploration, creativity, and learning, with a nod to the adventurous spirit of the PNW!
Our students and families can enjoy many varied activities at the event, including:
We are aiming to raise $55,000 this year to fund the many programs PTSA supports.
It costs an average of $150 per student annually to fund the programs, events and grants that the PTSA supports. Your donation will help us to meet our goal and continue to support education, advocacy, fun and community building at Cascade Ridge.
You may donate via e-check or credit card on our CheddarUp site: Adventure On Fall Fundraiser 2023
You may also donate via cash or check by first submitting the donation form on CheddarUp and ticking the box for cash/check. After the form is submitted, cash and checks (made payable to Cascade Ridge PTSA) can be submitted to the black PTSA collection box in the school lobby. Please be sure to place all your donations in a sealed envelope clearly marked with your child’s name and teacher name.
The donation site is open now and will stay open until September 22nd!
Of course! Grandma’s, grandpas, friends, local businesses- anyone can support our children’s education! The Community Donation page is the place to go to donate: Community Adventure On Donation Page
Did you know that many companies will match their employee's charitable contributions?
You can maximize the impact of your donation by registering your donation with your employer. A matching gift program is a type of corporate giving program that essentially matches some or all of an employee's initial donation to a nonprofit organization. If your employer is one of the generous companies that offers this program, please remember to notify your employer of the donation.
No, it is free for ANY student and their families to participate!
The week of the Adventure On event (September 18th-22nd) will be a spirit week at Cascade Ridge. We will be celebrating with fun spirit days each day! Participation is optional.
We will host Musical Cakes is simple: participants buy a chance for $2 and as music plays, participants walk around a large circle of numbers. When the music stops, a number is randomly drawn from a container and the person standing on the number drawn wins the dessert of their choice. It’s a sweet deal!
We need your donations to make this a success! You can sign up to donate a cake/sweet treat here.
All donations will be collected the morning of Friday, September 22nd and should be delivered in front of the school in a disposable container, plate or pan. Store bought only, please and nothing that requires refrigeration. We have lots of students with food allergies so a clear ingredients label is important. Thank you!
