The main fundraiser of LECPTA is the Lakewood Home Festival - a weekend of events including a home tour, auction, market, and cafe.
In addition to this fundraiser that supports Lakewood Elementary School, we've implemented several smaller ideas to raise funds for our own LECPTA membership activities.
- Ads - There are several ways to place ads with LECPTA:
Newsletter - contact newsletter@lecpta.org
- Classified ads are free for our members
- Business ads are $300 per year, or $35 per month; money goes towards membership activities.
Membership Directory - contact membership@lecpta.org
- Prices vary; money goes towards membership activities.
- Published once a year, the directory/yearbook contains information on our events, programs, membership activities, and members; it's a lifeline for our membership of close to 200 families.
Auction Book Program - contact auction@lecpta.org
- Ad spaces are available for the auction book, prices vary by size; 100% of the money goes to charity.
- With a patronage of over 400 guests, your ad will reach community members outside our membership.
- Box Tops
- Box tops for education is a nation program where anyone can raise money for their favorite school. Look for foods at your local grocer that advertise 'Box Tops for Education'. Cut out the labels and bring them to a meeting or drop them off at the school of your choice.
- For more information, visit their website.
- Book Fair
