Parent Alliance Fundraising Responsibility Agreement

I understand that I am expected to attend Parent Alliance Meetings scheduled during the school year.

I agree to fulfill my financial responsibility of fundraising on behalf of the Parent Alliance in the amount of $700. This amount will reflect percentages of a fundraiser rather than a flat amount. For example: sell $500 worth of Corbi Pizza. Assuming Corbi Pizza gives us 40% profit on sales, you would receive $200 toward your fundraising obligation. I understand that a list of participating fundraisers will be provided at the beginning of the school year. All unfulfilled obligations will be billed directly to you prior to the end of the school year.

You have the option of paying a “buyout” to be exempt from having to participate in the fundraising. The buyout for the 2012-2013 school year will be $700.

Should you fail to meet your child’s complete fundraising obligation, it may  dversely affect your child’s enrollment and/or scholarship opportunity at Mercy.

The Parent Alliance is responsible for contributing $40,000 to the school’s budget from their

fundraising activities and events. We can only achieve this amount with the required participation of all families.

Because of past problems, Mercy imposes a $30 charge for any checks returned for insufficient funds. We truly hope that we will not be forced to impose this fee and should a problem arise in meeting your payments in a timely manner, PLEASE CALL THE OFFICE PROMPTLY. We will work with you in any way possible.

I understand and accept this responsibility.
