Help Support Arete Prep Athletics By Donating Your AZ State Tax Credit! 

 

On behalf of our student athletes, coaches, and teams, I would like to say THANK YOU to all who have participated in our current tax credit drive. This program is essential for the existence and improvement of our athletics programs at Arete Prep. We are heading towards our goal, but are not quite there yet! We are at 69% of our goal for this year, and need 78 more tax credits to hit it. If you have not taken advantage of this dollar for dollar credit on your state taxes, it's not too late!  Please keep your tax dollars here in our community where they directly impact our students and programs.

Interested in winning a waived sports fee for '19-20? Make your Tax Credit contribution today! After that, have your Arizona friends and family make their tax credit contribution for additional entries into the drawing! All credits donated before 3/19/19 will be entered into the drawing!
