Donate Online to the 2019 Cedar Park 5K, Earn Chance to Win 9/25 Timbers Tickets
Our ONLY Cedar Park fundraiser is around the corner & it’s time to get started!
We’ve upped our goal slightly this year, hoping to reach a record-breaking $55,000 in gross donations. And like last year, it’s a friendly race to the top to see which grade can bring in the most support. Every dollar counts, Cedar Park!
Here’s how YOU can get a jump start on supporting the incredible school support & programs provided by the PTC and earn your child’s chance to win two tickets to the 9/25 Timbers game vs. the New England Revolution (reserved seating). All students with a registered Pledgestar page by Thursday, 9/12 at 9pm, will be entered to win.
Go to http://pledgestar.com/cedarpark
Click “Not Registered For This Year’s Event”
Enter your name and email address, then click “Submit”
Follow the instructions on-screen to register students
When you finish, the system emails pledge requests to your family and friends, and allows them to make secure credit card donations online. You are notified each time a pledge is made, and you can track your pledge progress online.
Call 1-888-598-7510 if you need help with Pledgestar.
And don’t forget to save Thursday, 10/3, on your calendar. We will see you at Cedar Park, cheering your baby on!

FIVE THINGS TO KNOW about the CPMS 5K Fundraiser
1. The 5K is the Cedar Park PTC’s only fundraiser.
Forget the extended magazine sales or monthly dining nights. Your parent-teacher club (PTC) is getting it done RIGHT NOW, so we can spend the rest of the year relaxing & watching our hard-earned donations being spent on our kids.
2. Donors have payment options.
Set-up an online fundraising page & solicit donors from family & friends across America. But if you’d rather just keep it old school & write us a check (or stuff a little cash in an envelope), we’ll take that too. Either way, it’s tax deductible!!
3. 5K information will be sent via email soon.
Be on the lookout for a 5K smore newsletter, headed straight to your inbox. We are DEDICATED to ensuring that you have everything you need to make an easy & confidant donation in your child’s school.
4. The 5K provides some pretty cool stuff that KEEPS CEDAR PARK AWESOME.
This 5K does it all– bulking up the library, supplementing our after-school clubs, providing transportation for educational field trips, and most importantly, filling in those gaps where the regular school budget just ain’t cutting it. Want nitty gritty? Head to www.cedarparkptc.org/business to poke through our financials.
5. We need parents to make the day LEGENDARY.
The 5K team has got some pretty awesome ideas in their back pocket, but we can’t pull it off without YOU. Be on the lookout for our volunteer sign-ups or just plan on joining us on Thursday, 10/3.

2019 5K Seeks Sponsorships
Dear Cedar Park Supporters,
Are you a business owner or partner in a local company? We invite you to be a corporate sponsor of our 2019 5K Fundraiser to support our school.
The Cedar Park 5K Fundraiser Committee is working to make our fundraising efforts bigger and better. This is the one time a year we reach out to our community to raise money so that we can fund many experiences and projects for our students. At $50,000 raised, we fund field trips including an 8th grade visit to OSU and 6th & 7th grade OMSI experiences, as well as allow our teachers to enrich their classes and the education of the Cedar Park students beyond the school budget. This year we’re also aiming beyond $50,000 to support special school improvement projects in our innovative hands-on engineering lab, library and classrooms.
Would you help us accomplish these goals?

We will work with you to find the sponsorship level that is right for your business and also gives you the visibility in our community that you are looking for.
