Mission Critical:
Underwriting Campaign still needs your help

If you haven't already done so, please consider contributing through the Underwriting Campaign. Cornerstone's Underwriting Campaign keeps CSA students from selling wrapping paper, cookies, etc. We encourage every Cornerstone family to contribute, and 100% of underwriting dollars remain at CSA. No amount is too small, and every dollar makes an impact! 

The Cornerstone PTA uses these funds to pay for CESIT materials, field trips, dances, first and last day of school activities, classroom set-up and grade level budgets, staff retreat and the family campaign.
Please make your donation using the  BIG FORM. Make your donation go twice as far by asking your company to participate in the Corporate Matching Program!

Business Campaign
Do you own a business or know of a business that would like to advertise in the Cornerstone directory? Email CSAUnderwriting@gmail.com  for more details and forms. All business donations need to be received by  September 6th. Download the  Business Campaign letter.

Cornerstone PTA is a 501c organization. Your donation is tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
