Outdoor Fall Movie Fundraiser

From September 29 to October 17, we’re rallying the Charger community to raise $90,000 in support of our fall initiatives. To celebrate, we’re ending the campaign with something special—our first-ever outdoor movie night for the whole family!

Admission is free, and a limited selection of concessions will be available for purchase the night of the event. However, this event is our biggest fundraiser of the year—so please consider making a donation and reserving a ticket package that includes: concession packs, EXCLUSIVE school swag gift packages + more! 

We have many individual and school-wide incentives during this fundraising campaign.

Individual packages:

School-wide Incentives:

NOTE: Corporate Matching will count toward classroom incentives and any Corp Match over $300 will receive a Cherry Crest blanket so please ensure you share your corporate matching proof here.

But more than that, Giving to our school benefits every student and staff at Cherry Crest!

At the event on Friday, October 17th, we’ll have:

  • Free general admission to see a featured Dreamworks video on a HUGE inflatable screen.
    • “This movie is an absolute triumph. It captures the heart, humor, and high-flying magic of the original while breathing new life (and fire!)” ~Online reviewer
  • Free glow bracelets
  • A Featured short film of your students on the BIG SCREEN. 
  • Movie Poster Contest voting (every student who participates gets a small prize)

We hope to see you all there in support of our students & school Comm(UNITY)! 🥰

FAQ

Does corporate matching work on individual incentives so if I donate $500 and I corporate match at $500 does that get me the VIP $1,000 package?

No, you would have to donate $1,000 directly to Cherry Crest PTA to get the VIP package. If you purchased that package and matched $1,000 by filling out the Corp Match form, you’d earn a Cherry Crest blanket and also raise your classroom total for your student to $2,000 raised.

Since donation packages are per family, what happens if I have more than one student. How will classroom credit work?

We will split any donations/purchases and Corp Match amounts equally amongst your students so if you have two students and donated $150, each student’s class would receive $75 of credit.

What is the deadline to order?

If you’d like to receive your gift basket at the Movie Night, all purchases must be complete by the evening of October 14th. Sweatshirt orders will be delivered after the event so we ensure we acquire the exact size you’d like (target delivery: before Thanksgiving break).

Do I need to donate to attend Movie Night?

No, we welcome everyone to attend the Movie Night, regardless of if you donate or not. Since this is our largest fundraiser, however, anything you can give would be much appreciated. If 80% of a class donates, that class will earn a Movie and Popcorn session in their classroom. Thanks for your support!
