Subject: A new kind of fundraiser this [Month] — no products, no door-to-door

Dear [School / PTA] families,

This year we are trying something different. No wrapping paper. No cookie dough. No door-to-door selling. We are running a Pick-a-Date Calendar Fundraiser — the school fundraiser we actually want to run.

Here is how it works: you get a calendar with 31 days. You ask family and friends to claim a day. If they pick the 12th, they donate $12. If they pick the 5th, they donate $5. That is it — claiming a day gives every family one small, clear part to play.

Our goal this [Month] is to raise $[Goal] for [specific goal — e.g., new library books, field-trip scholarships, classroom technology].

Why we love this format: the pressure no longer falls on the same handful of parents — every family carries one manageable piece. There is nothing to buy, store, or deliver. And 100% of what you choose to give goes toward [specific goal].

To take part: pick a day that means something to you — a birthday, an anniversary, a lucky number — claim it, give that amount, and you are done for the month. [If using MonthFund: open your family link here — [LINK].]

Thank you for being part of [School Name]. One day at a time, we fill the calendar together.

Warmly, [PTA President Name]
