Class baskets
Each class puts together a themed basket to be raffled off at the Blitz.

Keep this in mind as you are doing your holiday shopping.
$5.00 Family Donation
During the night of the Blitz grocery gift cards are won by playing the game.In order to defray the cost of the groceries,we are asking each Stokes family to contribute $5.00. Keep in mind that the donation is per family, not per child.
Raffle prize donations
Many volunteers solicit our local business owners for raffle donations. In addition to this we ask for any individual nations. Check your closets for any NEW/UNUSED gifts that you would be willing to donate. Please ask
your family and friends if their business or place of employment would be willing to make a donation. In the past some donations we received have been used as Grand Prizes, some examples of these include: LCD TV, I-POD, PSP, Yankee and Mets Tickets and Woodloch Pines just to name a few. We hope to continue this tradition with your help.
Volunteers
We will be asking for many volunteers over the next few months. There is a job for everyone and remember VOLUNTEERS are GUARANTEED a ticket. Volunteers are the most important part of this fundraiser. We
need the support of all of our Stokes families. Foot canvassing volunteers are also needed to get local donations (help on your own time). Also remember to come to our monthly Blitz meetings prior to our regular PTA meeting.
Keep in mind that all Volunteers must pay for their tickets. If you are not able to attend a meeting and would like to volunteer or have any questions please feel free to contact Jen Hicks at 520-7850.
