Pizza Party Participation Challenge |
Our goal this year is to achieve the highest participation rate ever to the MPH Annual Fund. Currently our Board of Trustees, Administration, and Parents’ Association Leadership are all in at 100%. This year, we are asking our current MPH families to achieve a goal of 91%. Each week, an update of our progress is provided in the weekly Snapshot newsletter and an outdoor fundraising thermometer located at the campus entrance shows our progress.
We are hoping to push the needle in the right direction with the help of an anonymous donor who has generously offered to provide a pizza party for every MPH class that achieves 50% or more in participation by Sunday, February 11.
Please consider making a gift to the MPH Annual Fund. Your gift is an investment in resources and programs that will provide each student with the best educational experience at MPH.
Help us get to 50% participation from each class by taking part in this challenge.
If you've already made a gift this year, please accept our thanks!
