Giving Tuesday

Hello PS 154 Families!

As we head into this season of giving, I wanted to take a moment to share an update on our PTA’s fundraising efforts. First, thank you to everyone who has already contributed to our Annual Fund—it’s because of your support that we’ve raised $20,000 so far! But with a goal of $125,000, we still have a ways to go, and I know we can do it together.

Today is Giving Tuesday, a global day of generosity celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It’s an opportunity for people around the world to come together and make a positive impact by giving back to causes they care about. For us, the charity that supports PS 154, it’s the perfect moment to rally together and support the amazing programs that make our school so special.

To reach our Annual Fund goal, we’re aiming to raise about $400 per student for our Annual Fund. That’s just $40 per month—or $10 per week! Your contribution will help fund vital programs like art, music, technology, and extra classroom support that make a world of difference in our children’s education.

Here’s how you can pitch in:

  1. Make a Donation: Visit ps154.org/donate to make a one-time gift or set up a recurring monthly donation. $40 a month adds up quickly and makes a big impact!

  2. Stock Donations: Have some appreciated stocks? Donating them is a great way to give while possibly saving on taxes. Visit https://donatestock.com/pta-of-ps154-brooklyn-inc for more information how to do this.

  3. Employer Matching: Many employers match charitable gifts—it’s an easy way to double your impact. Please check with your employer on how to do this.

  4. Spread the Word: Share our Giving Tuesday campaign with friends, family, and neighbors who might want to support our amazing school.

Every bit helps us get closer to our goal. Whether you can give $4, $400, or more, your generosity ensures that our kids have the enriching experiences they deserve—and helps build a stronger school community.

If you have questions or want to chat about other ways to support, feel free to email me anytime at pta_fundraising@ps154.org. Thank you for being such an important part of PS 154!

Warmly,
Jimmy Schementi
