FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE
The fundraising committee coordinates fundraising events and activities to generate funds to benefit TAG. Sounds simple enough, except it's so much more exciting than that. It is possibly the best place to get the most creative and the most involved. With budget cuts and the chronic underfunding to gifted and talented schools, fundraising is essential! So if you feel inspired to be creative and make a great difference, this is a fabulous place to start! Grant writing also falls under the umbrella of the fundraising committee.
To contact the Fundraising Committee Chair, email: [email protected].
The committee's planned events are listed below & on the Event Calendar, and you can sign up to join the committee or help at events.
