Annual Spring Fundraiser
Paint the Polar Bear
Why do we fundraise?
In 2026, 100% of the funds raised will go entirely to help fund scholarships to attend our co-op.
Whereas we used to fund only 2-3 scholarships per year we are now funding 18-20 scholarships per year.
We do not want to turn any families away from our community due to financial constraints.
Please help us to continue offering wonderful early education and caregiver support for everyone in our community.​
How do families participate?
​
Financial Contributions: We have no minimum contribution levels, but our goal is for 100% of our families to financial contribute in the fundraising drive however you can.
​​
Raffle Items: We are also looking for contributions to our raffle at our March 21st fundraising event! We are looking for new and gently used baby and kid items or donations/items from businesses.
More details below!
What is the March 21st Fundraising Event?
​
At the end of our 4 week email campaign we will have a wonderful event, Paint the Polar Bear Dash on Saturday, March 21st from 10am-11am.
During the event kids and adults can “dash” between our different color stations to paint your shirts with all the colors of the rainbow. After you get all the colors of the rainbow on your shirt you can dash over to paint our giant cut out polar bear and get a special medal from Teacher Shannon.
In addition to the Dash we will be hosting a fundraising raffle and providing families with doughnuts and coffee. Last year our raffle raised over $2,000!
