Cash for Cougars has officially come to a close, and we are excited to announce that we expect to raise approximately $50K, or 83% of our goal. This total includes the anticipated $5K donation from Carmel Gives. We remain optimistic that with other fundraising opportunities planned this year, we will get even closer to—or possibly reach—our target of $60K.

We are immensely grateful to the Cougar community for your incredible generosity and support. To celebrate our successful fundraising campaign, we will be hosting a Cash for Cougars Wrap-Up Party this Friday. Students will be treated to ice cream and a student prize raffle drawing!

Congratulations to the winners of last week's prize drawing!

While our Cash for Cougars fundraiser was set to wrap up last Friday (9/21), we’ve received an incredible opportunity from Carmel Gives! They’ve offered a generous match grant of up to $5,000! To take full advantage of this, we’re extending the fundraiser by one week to help reach our $60,000 goal.

Right now, we’re at $43,000—72% of the way there! If you’ve been thinking about donating, now’s the perfect time to make an even bigger impact with this matching grant.

And that’s not all... We're adding another raffle!

Anyone who donates by next Friday, September 27, will be entered to win one of these 7 incredible prizes: Golf for 4 at Carmel Valley Ranch, a beautiful glass pumpkin (from MEarth), Hamilton swag, a handcrafted wooden cutting board (courtesy of Mr. Ishler’s wood shop), or one of three $800 Gift Certificates to Eisinger Orthodontics ($250 minimum donation required).

We’re thrilled to announce the winners of last week’s raffle:

Natalie Van Allen/Jason Henry: 2 bottles from Scheid Winery
Juan Carlos Gardea/Nancy Hernandez: Coast Carmel Gift Certificate & goodie bag
Eliza Jensen & Cheyenne Stoney-Stevens: The Treadmill Gift Certificate & goodie bag
Jon & Lisa Marsh: Lashify goodie bag

🎉 **CMS PTO's Cash for Cougars First Round Raffle Winners!** 🎉

We are currently just over halfway to our $60,000 goal, with 26% participation.

By making a minimum donation of $25 by this Friday, you'll have a chance to win our weekly raffle featuring exciting new prizes! Winners will be announced on Monday, 9/23!

While a contribution of $250 per student is encouraged, every donation counts, regardless of size. Additionally, if you'd like to contribute gradually, monthly payment options are available through PayPal.

Just one week into our Cash for Cougars fundraiser, we've already reached over 20% of our $60,000 goal!

Let’s make this another impactful week!

We suggest a donation of $250 per student, which will help fund a variety of student activities—some of which are listed on our flyer!
