Join our Community Matching Gift Challenge and double your gift!
November 29, 2022
Dear MMS Community,
Today, Giving Tuesday, is the first day of our Community Matching Gift Challenge! Now through December 31, every dollar donated to our Annual Appeal fundraising campaign will be matched by an anonymous donor, up to $20,000.
In partnership with teachers, staff, parents and caregivers, the HSA promotes the education, safety, and welfare of MMS students and of our community. Your gift will fund enrichment programs, social and educational events, and help provide our students with the support they need to achieve academic success and healthy development.
To meet our goals in the 2022-2023 school year, the HSA must raise $85 per student. Right now, you have a chance to double the impact of your donation. All gifts made through December 31, up to $20,000, will be matched by an anonymous donor.
To donate to the Annual Appeal, please visit our website: Maplewood Middle School HSA - 2022-2023 Annual Appeal. Contributions are tax-deductible and receipts will be issued for your tax records.
Donations by check should be made payable to Maplewood Middle School Home and School Association. Please mail checks to:
| Maplewood Middle School HSA (Attn: HSA Treasurer) |
| 7 Burnet Street |
| Maplewood, NJ 07040 |
Every donation, no matter the size, is valuable and appreciated. If you have already donated to the Annual Appeal, we extend our sincerest thanks. Together with your help, the HSA hopes to reach our fundraising goal by December 31!
Sincerely,
Vanessa Llana and Jennifer Melone
2022-2023 HSA Co-Presidents
