DOLLARS FOR DOVES
Annual Fund
Dollars for Doves is our largest and most critical source of financial support. We need active parents to help us raise Dollars for Doves and achieve our goal of 100% family participation. Even a small donation goes a long way; please consider donating and joining the Annual Fund committee today!
Banners
Our Banner team works with the local business community to secure long-term donation commitments. In return, businesses receive a “Thank You” banner featuring their business name and logo and displayed on highly-trafficked Colorado Blvd. or highly-visible Floristan Ave.
Career Day
We are looking for a variety of people in all occupations who are interested in spending time with our students and discussing their career. Volunteers can participate in Career Day by being a speaker or by helping us organize the event (scheduling, refreshments, etc).
Dahlia DIY
Dahlia DIY is something wonderful and amazing, and it can be all your own great idea. Through Dahlia DIY, parents are encouraged to come up with their own grassroots fundraisers, organized to their preferences. Some past ideas have been dinner parties, wine nights, book clubs, homemade crafts, and more. Funds raised are then donated back to the PTA. Dahlia DIY truly allows parents to use their skills and creativity to help our school in ways that feel most comfortable to them.
Dahlia Dine OUT
Help us solicit partnerships with local restaurants for these fundraising events. On Dine Out nights, Dahlia families are encouraged to eat at certain restaurants (where the turnout is usually amazing!), and a portion of the receipts generated from our families are donated by the restaurant to the school. We also hope that if you work at or own a restaurant, you will consider hosting a Dahlia Dine Out event.

This is a fun, whole-family event where each family brings their favorite games to play with the Dahlia community. It's a great way to socialize and get to know other families, and to discover fun new games!
