GIVING TUESDAY

Consider including the Brighton PTO (a 501(c)(3) charitable organization) in your year-end giving. Brighton PTO is entirely volunteer led, does not charge membership dues, and has zero overhead. Every dollar goes toward our mission of providing Brighton students with a supportive and enriching school experience. You can also double your impact if your employer has a corporate matching program. Learn more about our Giving Tuesday campaign HERE.
