HEALTHY HASTINGS FUNDRAISING

The Hastings PTO would like to invite you to join all our families, both Online Academy and Hybrid, classmates and school teachers and staff in celebrating this first-year edition of Healthy Hastings Fundraising.

Hastings PTO traditionally organized one fundraiser a year.  This year everything has changed and we would like to organize an event to encourage families to:

• get out and walk, run, bike or just simply stay active to stay healthy
• connect with our school 
• promote school spirit
• help our school raise some funds

How do I participate?

Corporate matching donation

One of the easiest ways to make a big impact to your Hastings Middle School PTO contribution is to find out if your employer matches donations. If you donate, they’ll donate.

For instance, if you donate $100 to the HMS PTO, you would then go to your Human Resources department, ask for a matching gift form, complete it and submit it to the appropriate person at your work. The employer confirms your contribution to the PTO then sends their own donation.
