The Acorn Family Fiesta FUNraiser
Saturday 10am- 2pm
April 22, 2023
at The Acorn School
Purchase Family Pass here!
Dear Acorn Families and Friends,
You may know that The Acorn is a non-profit school, and we operate on a deficit every year. As a result, we have one major fundraiser from which we hope to raise the majority of money to cover that deficit. This is the first time since COVID we are able to have a big fundraising event. We decided to make it a family fun event for everyone to attend. This Fiesta themed event will have a $50 family pass admission ticket, which covers open admission to the event and access to all Acorn activities and food booths on the playground for the entire family.
• Raffle tickets available at $5, $10, and $25. Great prizes at each level! Purchase either beforehand or at the event. Drawing will be held the Monday following the event.
• Food Booths with offerings from various area favorite restaurants, including Taco Cabana! (included with your Family Pass admission)
• Silent Auction available for bidding inside the Kindergarten wing during the event: featuring class projects and teacher outings, as well as dinners, overnights, favorite memorabilia, jewelry, photography packages, and lots more!
• Wine Pull! For $20 you are guaranteed to take home a bottle of wine valued at $20 or more. In the past we have awarded bottles of wine valued over $50, $80, and even $100!
• Student Photo Wall! Families take home their child’s photo for a suggested $20 donation
• Playground kid activities -Rocket launchers, spin art, hat making, face painting, book pull, toy walk, bouncy house, petting zoo, pony rides, etc.
• Mariachi Band or DJ (we are hoping)
If you or your company would be interested in underwriting any of the event amenities listed above, please download our FUNraiser Underwriting Form.
