Dear LPMS Community,
Today we launch our Make Your Mark (MYM) direct donation campaign for the 2013-14
school year at Linus Pauling Middle School. This direct donation campaign provides additional
resources and unique experiences to enhance learning at our school. MYM
is our primary annual fundraising campaign and our goal this year is to raise
$15,000. We have moved away from product-based fundraising and sincerely
appreciate those who Made Their Mark this past year. We hope we can count on you to join us again! Click here to watch a short video about the positive impact of MYM and new ideas
for this year!
How can you support the Linus Pauling Make Your Mark
campaign?
1. Make a tax deductible gift! Every
gift large or small makes a difference for our students at Linus Pauling. You can give online at cpsfoundation.org
(designate to: LPMS Make Your Mark). You
will be able to designate specifically to MYM prior to submitting your
donation. Another way to give is by
writing a check to: Corvallis Public Schools Foundation (LPMS Make Your Mark
and student’s name on the memo line for prize drawings). Send checks to:
Linus
Pauling Middle School
Attn:
Make Your Mark
1111 NW
Cleveland Avenue
Corvallis,
OR 97330
2. Encourage your student to get involved and bring in a cash or check
donation. Your student will receive a raffle ticket for every $5 that is
donated. We have fun prizes for individuals and Pride classes such as Principal
for the day (you even get to pick your own VP), signed OSU gear, Yogurt Extreme
escape with a friend, and much more! We will be collecting donations at
Pride period on Fridays during November and December. The emphasis is on
making a difference, participation, and having fun!
3. Help spread the word! Below is a link to our campaign video showing
how the donations have and will positively impact our school. Please
consider sending this letter to family, friends, neighbors, business owners or
anyone else who may want to help through email, Facebook, Twitter, or other
creative ways. We are also graciously accepting “in kind” donations from
businesses and individuals for participation raffle drawings. Also attached is the MYM brochure that you
are invited to share. Thank you for
spreading the news of Make Your Mark!
