Major Fundraisers These fundraisers bring in most of our annual financial support.
Auction Our
spring fundraiser is the largest of the year, bringing in more than 80%
of our annual funds. There are countless ways to support the auction
including donating items, decorating, checking in guests and, of
course, by bidding.

Social Fundraisers Like
the Movies and Bingo, we strive to keep our fundraisers FUN! The
events are all-inclusive with a nominal fixed price or modest suggested
donation. Have fun in your community and raise funds for our programs
at the same time.
Fundraising Programs At
Clyde Hill, we strive to find “painless” fundraisers; that is, buying
opportunities that fit so well into your lifestyle you would have spent
the money even if Clyde Hill didn’t benefit. In the past, we have sold
QFC cards and Tully’s cards, and we have also trialed special VISA
cards. This year we are continuing the following programs:
PACE

the same time. With over 400 participating businesses your personal

Campbell's Labels for Education
- UPC's and lids from Campbell's products should be clipped and dropped
off in the office or in the box outside the P.E. office. UPC's and V8
Splash lids are then used like money to buy recess and P.E. equipment
for our students. Please check out the list of participating
products. Besides Campbell's products, collect UPC's from Pepperidge
Farm products, Franco-American pasta, Swanson broths, V8 juices, and
Prego pasta sauces.
