Abernethy 2024 Annual Appeal

Hello Abernethy Families. The Annual Appeal will be running for one more week! Thank you to those who have already made a donation. The Annual Appeal is a direct giving campaign, and one of Abernethy’s most critical fundraisers. It is running through Friday, March 15th.

So far we have raised $17,100, a little over 25% of the Annual Appeal’s fundraising goal of $60,000. The money raised will help ensure enrichment programs, literacy and instructional support for our students. All donations to the Appeal will go towards the Fund for PPS. This fundraising helps support teacher positions.

This week we had two lucky winners, receiving a pair of Auction tickets and a gift card to Casa Italia! We’ll have one more drawing this week, so make your donation today!

Ask if your employer offers donation matching. Many employers match employee charitable donations. The Fund for PPS’s tax ID for matching purposes is 84-2040549. Be sure to ask them to indicate it’s for the ‘Abernethy Foundation’.

HOW TO MAKE A DONATION: Participation in the Annual Appeal has never been easier! You can donate directly on the Abernethy Local School Foundation donation form. Donating online is secure and easy, provides an immediate receipt for your tax records, and allows you to set up a recurring donation.

If cash or check is preferred, you can return it to the school in the green envelope brought home by your student, or mail it to the Abernethy office (2421 SE Orange Ave, Portland, OR 97214). Please make checks out to “The Fund for Portland Public Schools" with "Abernethy Foundation" in the memo line and your student name and grade are clearly marked on the envelope or check.

Thank you for your participation and showing your support for the Abernethy community!

Sincerely, 2023/2024 Annual Appeal Chair,
