Our Annual Pledge Drive is the largest and most important part of our fundraising efforts. Your Pledge gift helps provide Community Magnet Charter with the resources and tools to give each student a meaningful, rigorous, and well-rounded education.
Last year we raised 100% of our pledge goal! Together we will meet our 2023-2024 pledge goal and aim to have 100% CMCS PARTICIPATION!
The suggested Pledge contribution is $1,000 per STUDENT, but we recognize that every family’s circumstances are different. Please make a gift to Pledge that is personally meaningful, and when making your contribution we ask you to consider the value of the enrichment programs and classroom support Community Magnet Charter School offers:
P.E., Technology, Art, Dance, Improv/Drama, and Chess Instruction
Multicultural Assemblies
Field Trips
and more!
These are the “extras” that help make Community Magnet Charter School the incredible place it is and are some of the reasons you chose this school for your child. All of this is made possible by your contributions!
During the 2023-24 School Year we need to raise nearly $330,000 to support CMCS. Our Pledge Drive raises nearly 2/3 of the funds we need to support CMCS and this effort is the foundation of our fundraising. Other fundraisers in the year such as, Parade of Masks, Read-a-Thon, Sweethearts Dance, and Pump It Up, help us reach our total fundraising goal, so your support throughout the year is essential!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to speak with your CFF Grade Level Rep or contact us at pledgedrive@welovecmcs.org or cff@welovecmcs.org.
