Each year we ask for donations to the East Meck PTSO Direct Give fund. Direct Give donations support school needs throughout the year. You can make a tax-deductible donation straight to the PTSO Direct Give general fund: nothing to sell, nothing to buy.
Spread the Word: Use this donation letter to send to family, friends, and neighbors. This is our annual fundraiser, and there is nothing to sell – all donations go straight to our campaign and back to meet needs at the school.
How to Donate: You can donate online at emptso.org/donate, drop a check or cash at the EMHS office made out to “EMHS PTSO” or mail to East Meck PTSO, Direct Giving Campaign, 6800 Monroe Rd, Charlotte, NC 28212
Matching Gifts: Did you know that many employers will match your gift up to a certain amount? Contact your human resources department for details.
We still have a few leadership positions to fill this year and we need your help! Here’s an overview of each of our open positions:
Spirit Nights & Easy Money: Contact area restaurants to set up regular East Meck Spirit Nights; publicize events and report earnings to PTSO Board. Create awareness and encourage participation in various school fundraising programs offered by companies and grocery stores in our area, primarily grocery store card links, etc. Time commitment: low-moderate, can be done from home.
Corporate & Community Partnerships: Identify and work with local businesses and community members to secure donations of volunteers, money, and supplies for East Meck; form partnerships to benefit our students and staff. Time commitment: variable, as much as you are available; can be done from home.
Hospitality: Participate in open houses, back to school nights and IB informational sessions as needed. Coordinate ad-hoc tours of the school if they arise (along with Student EMbassadors). Look for other ways to extend hospitality to potential, future or current students and families. Time commitment: moderate, yearlong; will require ability to be at school during specific events.
If you’re interested in or have questions about any of these positions, email vicepresident@emptso.org.
