Vertical Raise Fundraiser
Dear RVMS Families,
River Valley Middle School is excited to launch our newest school-wide fundraiser through Vertical Raise! Ms. Broadus came in today to get all of our students logged in. They will be coming home with the following sheet so that you can help them get their fundraiser started! We really hope to get your support to help make this fundraiser successful! The more contacts you enter, the greater chance we have of getting donations!
Our goal for this fundraiser is simple: to give directly back to our students. We are working hard to fund reward field trips throughout the school year—including potential trips to places like Extremenasium, Soar-n-Bounce, the movies, and more!
By raising these funds, we can tremendously cut (or cover) the out-of-pocket costs for parents, making these memorable experiences accessible to all of our students.
How You Can Help Right Now (In Less Than 5 Minutes!)
The Vertical Raise platform works best when we reach a broad audience of family, friends, and community supporters. We ask that you please take a few minutes to log into the platform and enter valid, high-quality email addresses and phone numbers of relatives, family friends, and local supporters who might be willing to sponsor our school.
Why quality contacts matter:
The more authentic contacts entered, the more funds we raise for student rewards.
Email addresses and phone numbers are kept completely private and used only for this direct campaign.
It costs nothing to enter contacts, but it makes a massive impact on lowering field trip costs for your family!
