Dear Friends of the WES/MAC PTO,

 

    Each year, the WES-MAC Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) hosts events to raise funds to support enhancements to the children’s educational experience at the Westport Community Schools.  It is the donations of time and money made by families, friends, and area businesses that make these events a success.  In the last year, the PTO has been able to fund field trips/assemblies, classroom IPads/supplies, updated classroom/lobby furnishings, and after-school programs to name a few.

 

    This year, we are attempting to streamline our fundraising efforts, to alleviate repetitive donation requests of our local business partners. We are offering annual tiered sponsorships to accommodate at multi-levels to  all the benefits of being our prime sponsors for each individual event. 

 

Our 2024-2025 fundraising events include: 

1. Comedy Night at White’s of Westport (November 8, 2024) is one of our newer events, and is an adults only night out! This year we will be partnering with White’s who will also promote the event.  We are hoping to increase our ticket sales to approximately 200 people. 

2. The Annual Holiday Fair (December 7, 2024) is one of our biggest community attended events! This event includes vendors from all over the south coast, a “Holiday Shop” for our children to purchase gifts for family and friends, and many fun-filled holiday activities. The fair consistently brings in a several hundred people throughout the day! 

3. Casino Night (February 8, 2025) is an annual event in which we partner with the Middle/High School PTO for an adults only casino night. This fundraiser brings in over 200 people, including many from outside the school community! 

4. The Harlem Wizards vs. Westport Teachers & Staff Basketball Event (tentative date of March 30, 2025) is sure to bring in a gymnasium jam packed with students and their families cheering on their favorite players (attendance approximately 500 people). 

5. Annual Tough Kids Challenge (June date TBD) is by far our biggest fundraiser of the year! Typical participation levels have been between 750 - 1,000 runners, with overall attendance far surpassing those numbers! This event brings in people from communities beyond the borders of Westport.

    

    Please see the attached donor form for various sponsorship levels.  In order to ensure the proper recognition on printed materials, we ask that all sponsorships be received by November 1st.   Please contact us at wesmacpto@gmail.com with any questions. We appreciate your consideration and hope that we can count on your support to make these events a success again this year.  

 

 Cordially,
