Who is dreaming of the weekend and planning that extra carb intake? I sure am!

If you've seen the light purple trucks driving around SF and been curious, Pastel brings treats to you from various local bakeries and brands. For a limited time, you will get $20 off your first order of $40+ AND Starr King will earn 25% of that order. Any orders after your first time, Starr King will still earn 2% from the order. Please use the code STARRKING or the link below. ​Please share with your friends, family and network to support the school!

We are happy to support public education through a partnership with Starr King Elementary in Potrero Hill. Come in now through the end of the month and order our famous chicken liver pate, and we'll donate a portion of sales to support the kids at Starr King.

WAY TO GO STARR KING - WE DID IT! $226,472 ... and counting...

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone! WE DID IT!

While we won’t know the exact amount raised from this year’s ASK campaign for several weeks (corporate matches will come in through January 2019), we DO KNOW that we made it over our goal of raising $225,000 to fund staff, resources and programming that benefits the entire school!

A HUGE THANK YOU TO EVERYONE IN THE STARR KING COMMUNITY!
This year we surpassed previous years in amount raised and the number of donations/people participating. The support of this school by the families and friends of this school--not just during the ASK but many other ways--is humbling and inspiring.

Here’s wishing everyone a wonderful holiday break and happy new year!

3 days left to our fall fundraising campaign!

We are so thankful for the generosity and spirit of our community!

We have raised $217,792 out of $225,000 AND we’ve increased our participation rate over last year!

This is our final push to ask those who have not yet had a chance to donate or pledge this week.We are striving towards our goal of 100% participation and $225,000. Any level of giving is important whether it’s $1, $100 or $1000.

You can donate online through this FB page or PayPal Giving (we get 1% match from thru 12/31/18!); drop off cash or a check to the school office (1215 Carolina Street, San Francisco CA 94104); or donate stock (go to www.starrkingschool.org/donating for more details).

If a different timing works better for you (or your company for employer matching) you can pledge by just shooting us an email by Friday to let us know the amount and timing of the contribution that will work for you.

Also, guess what? Remember the 100% match that was being offered on Giving Tuesday (Nov. 27th) by Facebook and PayPal Giving that kicked off at 5am and quickly maxed out?We wanted to share the GREAT NEWS that 2 of our parents, whose donations that day clocked in before 5:01am(!), got confirmation that they made it through before the match maxed out and got the 100% match from PayPal Giving.

THANK YOU!

Greetings Starr King Family and Friends,

We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support you all showed us last week on and beyond.

We have now raised about $182,000 of our $225,000 goal with 2 weeks left to go to our fall fundraising "ASK" campaign.

Sorry to continue to ask but we are not there yet, so onward and upward! :) If you’ve been thinking about donating but have not yet done so, WE STILL NEED YOU to get closer to our goal of 100% participation and $225,000 this year!

You can donate through our page (just click on the "donate" button) or go to: www.starrkingschool.org/donating for other easy ways to contribute.

It takes a village...and we couldn't do it without you.

THANK YOU!!!

Sorry if this seems confusing. But we just heard from a parent that PayPal has already maxed out on the $500,000 limit for their dollar for dollar match. They will still match 1% of all donations thru 12/31/18.

HOWEVER, we still have a chance for 100% match if you donate through Facebook. Facebook's cap for their match is $7 million. This may seem like a lot but usually they will still probably max out in a few hours because every non-profit in the universe is trying to get these donations too.

The UPSHOT - if you were thinking of donating - THIS MORNING would be a great time through Starr King's page: 😀

NEWS FLASH: Tomorrow on , PayPal Giving will match dollar for dollar all donations starting at 5am PST to 11:59pm OR up until they hit their $500,000 limit.

Tomorrow is a great time to make a tax deductible donation to Starr King via PayPal Giving at https://www.paypal.com/fundraiser/charity/1630094

*After tomorrow they will match 1% of donations through Dec. 31st

The SKPTA helps fund staff, resources and community-building events. These benefits are provided by the SKPTA in large part through the generous donations of Starr King parents and guardians, as well as their extended families and friends.

Any amount you can give will help us continue providing the kids with a full, enriching educational environment!
