Calling ALL chocolate-lovers! It’s our Easter Extravaganza fundraising campaign. Its a great way to celebrate Easter, Passover, Eid-al-Fitr, or any other holiday that you observe.
We’re teaming up with Purdy’s Chocolatier to fundraise for Connect Charter School in hopes of raising $6,000! We had a successful Holiday campaign and are excited to this to the school again as Spring approaches. There are even vegan and sugar free options.
Stock up on your favourite Purdy’s treats (did someone say milk chocolate eggs?) AND support our school at the same time—it’s the best of both worlds. So satisfy those cravings, get all your gift-shopping done while supporting a great cause.
All fundraising profit raised will directly support the installation of water bottle water fountains for the school.
Ordering is as easy as eating chocolate. Click this link https://fundraising.purdys.com/1594771-103678. You’ll need to create a profile and then click “Join Campaign”, enter campaign number – 1594771-103678, and order to your heart’s content! Already have a profile, just sign in and give our campaign number – 1594771-103678. Easiest way is to click on the header “Shop Online” and “Use Marketplace”. This allows you to see pictures of all of the yummy offers for you to order.
The order deadline is March 3, 2023, so get shopping! And feel free to invite family and friends to order too. Pick up will be at the student-led conferences in March, prior to the Spring Break.
Thank you EVERYONE for your support. Even if you can’t buy chocolates from us, it would mean the world if you could share this fundraiser link to everyone you know!
Hoppy chocolating!
