With just four weeks to go until our biggest fundraiser of the year on Saturday, March 21st, we need you now more than ever! We’re asking EVERY ROOSEVELT FAMILY to solicit a donation or host a sign me up and purchase their tickets to the Auction! For donations, the most successful categories are wine, restaurants, travel and sports. But every donation, large or small helps us reach our goal. Ask your hairdresser, your dog walker, your favorite restaurant. Here you can find forms to either provide auction items or to request auction items from friends and businesses. Note: no forms needed for wine donations - just drop off in the school main office! Create a fun Sign Me Up. To host an event, or find out more, contact Chi Chang at chiychang@yahoo.com. Gala event tickets are now on sale. Buy tickets online here. Get the early bird price until March 16! Interested in volunteering in advance or day-of? Contact Auction Chair Gwen Rios. The Auction Catalog will be available to view on-line in advance shortly.

We met last week's anonymous Challenge! Our community rose to the challenge and donated (more than!) $5,000 between November 6 - 13. With the spike in contributions, we are now at $75,000, which is 60% of our goal. Donations have come from 28% of Roosevelt families.

This week's fundraising Challenge: If you make a donation of any amount between Nov 6 - 13, your donation will be matched 1:1 from some anonymous members of the Roosevelt Community. The impact of YOUR gift will double automatically, up to a cumulative match of $5,000!!! Whether you haven't yet given, or if you're considering giving again... Don't delay! You only have until midnight on Wednesday, November 13th until this Challenge expires!! Make your dollars go farther for Roosevelt!! Make your tax-deductible contribution here today!

Haven't donated yet? Now's the time! All who give by midnight on Monday, November 4th are entered into a raffle to win two tickets to Hamilton at the Orpheum Theater (and there's even flexibility on dates and show times, evening or matinee). Don't delay! Make your tax-deductible contribution here today and you could soon be attending one of the most popular musicals of all time!!!! As of October 23, we've raised $31,365 with 12% of families participating. That's 25% of our $125,000 goal. Just think what we'll accomplish when the 88% of remaining families give! We'll do the unprecedented: reach our two 2019-2020 annual fund goals together!
