Fundraising Opportunities
Buying gift cards this year? Help the PTA while you do it!
Hammond MS PTA participates in a fundraising tool called RaiseRight, which pays the PTA a percentage of gift cards purchased through their site. There is no upcharge for gift cards, which are available for most major retailers, including Target, Home Depot, Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, and more. Use this link to access our fundraiser: https://www.raiseright.com/enroll/GDX9NCGI3LH6 and contact Gina Lamb with any questions (treasurer@hmspta.org). Have a wonderful winter season!
RESTAURANT NIGHTS –
TONIGHT (12/13) the delicious and generous honeygrow (6131 Columbia Crossing Cir) is donating back 20% of Dine-In, Takeout, Delivery & Pick up orders to support a great cause -- HMS PTA!
On behalf of HMS PTA you’re invited to join us and eat out, not only in support of the organization, but to show one of your Columbia restaurants some love too!
We ask that you RSVP here: https://grouprai.se/e291724 (even if you’re not completely sure) so honeygrow knows roughly how many orders to expect & so you have access to all the event details.
We hope you can make it, and please feel free to forward this invitation to your friends and family. Thanks in advance for your support!
