MUSTANG DRIVE ROUND-UP IN 5 DAYS – THIS FRIDAY 11/22!

Posted on by

November 17, 2019

Hey Mustangs! We are just FIVE DAYS AWAY from our Mustang Drive Round-Up fundraiser event THIS FRIDAY 11/22!

It’s not too late to help us reach our $60,000 goal to keep our programs, field trips, WEB program and more! Without your support our PTA and school cannot fund all of these amazing programs and activities.

You can still visit www.pledgestar.com/rogers or turn in your Mustang Drive envelope with your fundraising money this week to qualify for all individual and advisory incentives! Don’t forget – the top advisory will win Jamba Juice!

Top Advisories as of Sunday 11/17 12:30 pm are:
1. Davis
2. Cornwell
3. Ellsworth
4. Weinstein (just under $100 behind Ellsworth!)
5. Castellanos (only $5 behind Weinstein!)
6. Rugeroni (only $10 behind Castellanos!)

Remember, the more you fundraise, the more individual prizes you will earn, such as:

$75       |           Limited Edition Spirit T-Shirt and 1 Golden Ticket
$150     |           Limited Edition Spirit T-Shirt and 3 Golden Tickets
$225     |           Limited Edition Spirit T-Shirt, 5 Golden Tickets and a pizza lunch
$375     |           Limited Ed. Spirit T-Shirt, 10 Golden Tickets, pizza lunch, & Hydroflask

*Added Bonus  +1 extra golden ticket for every $100 you raise over $375**

Students may be asking, “What will I have a chance to win with my golden ticket?” That all depends on how much our school raises! So far, we have raised over $20,000! We still have a few days left to add to the golden ticket prize corral.

The more we raise, the more prizes we add to the corral, such as:

$10,000             Free Dress Day (You’ve already earned this, Mustangs!)
$20,000             (4) $50 Amazon gift cards (ADDED to golden ticket prize corral!)
$30,000             (2) Apple Airpods (VERY CLOSE TO ADDING THESE PRIZES!)
$40,000             (2) sets of Knott’s Annual Passes
$50,000             (2) Escape Room Experiences ($210 Value)
$60,000             (5) $100 Amazon gift cards

We need your help Mustangs! By working together, we can do this. Remember, if everyone raises $75, we reach our $60,000 goal. Every little bit counts.
