Welcome to our Fundraising Page

 

Dear Beth El Families,

As the new fundraising chair, I wanted to be in touch with several opportunities as we kick off our efforts for this school year.  In the past, this site has been used primarily for the spring fundraiser.  We will leave it up throughout the school year, people can give online when  if they are interested, and I will update as the spring Sweet Soiree approaches. 

 

Beth El is and has been an extraordinary place for our children to learn and grow.  My wife and I know that we are not alone in our appreciation for the education and good start that Beth El has provided our children.

 

In speaking with Lorri, I've learned about several aspects of Beth El are not covered by the costs of tuition and rely on philanthropy.  Gifts from parents, grandparents, and friends of Beth El allow our students to participate in special programming that sets Beth El apart.  Programs creating Beth El’s special tone like Tumblebus, Rags to Riches Children’s Theater, and Mr. David’s musical visits, as well our commitment to families who otherwise could not afford a Beth El Education, are supported through philanthropic gifts.

 

With that in mind, I’d like to share some opportunities to give back to this special community.
 

Giving Tuesday

Many of you may know of the global day of giving known as #GivingTuesday.  On November 29, we would like to ask that you consider joining with us in this day of giving. We will be gathering for coffee and muffins in the morning and encouraging our community to support each other in one of the following ways.

  • Consider making a gift to Beth El Preschool
    • You may give a check to Lorri and we hope to have rebooted the giving website in the next week.
  • Donate a coat to a child
    • As we practice our value of tzedakah, please bring a new or gently used coat to be shared with children in our community. 

Should you have any questions, please reach out to or me at chris.ream@gmail.com.

Thanks so much to all of you for joining me in supporting this very special preschool.

 

My best,

 

Chris Ream - dad of Anna and Audrey, Pre-K Penguins

 

Have Questions? We've Got Answers!

 

1. How Do I Donate?

 

Just click donate now! You can donate through this site using a credit card. All donations through this site will be deposited into a Beth El Preschool account. (If the funding goal isn't met, we still receive all of your donations and Generosity will not assess additional fees.) Generosity does deduct a 3% credit convenience fee from your donation.

 

Want all your donation to go to Beth El? Just drop off cash or check donations to the school (see Lorri, Jessica D. or Jessica G.). Want to mail your donation? Send checks, payable to Beth El Preschool, to 1004 Watts Street, Durham, NC 27701. And THANKS!

 

Note: When donating online, Generosity adds a suggested donation for their site. To remove this donation, just click "Edit" to change the amount to zero. 

 

2. What happened to the Sweet Soiree?

 

While we're making some changes to fundraising this year, we haven't done away with the Sweet Soiree completely. Join us on April 14 at 7:30 at Bull City Burger and Brewery for our fundraiser after party. You'll have a chance to socialize with parents, enjoy some delicious food, and be entered to win some great door prizes. 

 

Like last year, we'd like to keep this an adult only event, so you have a chance to hang out with other parents and have some conversations that don't start with, "Can we go yet?"

 

10% of all sales at Bull City Burger and Brewery from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. will be donated to Beth El Preschool to help bring us that much closer to our goal. Just drop your receipt in the bucket at the register. 

 

​3. Is my donation tax deductible?

 

Why yes it is! Beth El Preschool is a 501(3)(c) registered non-profit and all donations to our school are tax deductible. If donating through this site, just print a receipt and keep it for your records. If you donate by cash or check, we'll make sure you get a receipt.

 

Note: If you'd like your donation to remain anonymous, just click "Hide my donation from the public" when making your donation online. You can still print a receipt from the site.

 

4. How Else Can I Help?

 

Help promote our fundraiser to your family and friends by sharing this page on Facebook. It's easy. Just click "Share on Facebook" under the Donate Now button at the top of the page. Help get the word out!
