Mark your calendars to join us for Edmonds Comedy Night - a great night out and an easy fundraiser for school parent groups.

This event, hosted by Parent Leaders for the Edmonds School District benefits all our parent groups in many ways.

1. Earn $10 per ticket sold when the attendees select your group when they buy tickets.

2. Each registered parent group also receives 2 tickets to use through raffles, auctions, gratuity, or recognition to support their group.

3. Finally, proceeds go to support the Parent Leaders Grant which can help fund local programs and projects led by any of our parent groups.

Contact us for more details and we look forward to seeing you at the show!!
