Help us tap your networks
Please consider asking your child’s camps, after-school programs, or activity
providers, sports teams, art studios, music schools, etc. to donate. It’s great
exposure for them within our school community and often leads to new families
discovering their programs.

Donate a gift certificate, merchandise, or an experience to our auction by completing
the below online form by April 17, 2026.

Every contribution, big or small, makes a real difference. And if donating isn’t possible,
you can still support by bidding in the auction!

A Fantis is a recognized 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, tax ID is #11-2040835, and
your gift may qualify as a tax-deductible donation.

We would greatly appreciate any donation you can make. Please respond directly
or email the PTO at pto@afantis.org. On behalf of the students, parents, and faculty of
A. Fantis, thank you for your consideration and generosity.

With gratitude,
