Mills Annual Fund - WE NEED EVERYONE'S HELP!!

Our Annual Fund Drive is well underway and we are currently at 20% of our $140,000 goal. We are SO grateful for everyone who has donated thus far but we have LONG way to go. 

Mills High School currently has 1,100 students. If we could get all financially-able families to donate at least $250 (our recommended donation per family is $500) we will definitely hit our goal. 

If we do NOT hit our goal, our students will be at a disadvantage.  Annual Fund money is vital to key programs, roles, and resources that directly impact all our students

  • CONTRIBUTE OR CONSIDER ADDING MORE TO YOUR DONATION.
  • PLEASE ASK YOUR COMPANY FOR ANY CORPORATE MATCH AVAILABLE. 
  • LET YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY KNOW THERE IS A NEED. EVERY DOLLAR DONATION MATTERS!
