Fundraising Events
MPH fundraising events, sponsored by the Parents' Association,
do more than simply raise critical funds to supplement tuition income.
In the process of planning events, MPH parents come together and find
new friendships, shared interests, and a whole new resource for ideas
from parenting (what does it mean when my child says this?) to technology
(what does it mean when my computer says this?).
Fundraising events also give the MPH community an opportunity to
showcase what an outstanding school we have. Parents are encouraged
to invite friends and supporters to campus to show them a picture
of what we do here that is worth more than any amount of words.
Whether you volunteer to help plan an event or simply attend an event,
everyone benefits. Volunteers know the satisfaction of doing something
for others, parents know the feeling of commitment to their children,
and MPH keeps getting better and better!
The Parents' Association urges every parent to participate in our
fundraising events in any way possible. At the start of each school
year, a Parents' Association packet is sent home to every family.
It includes information on fundraising events and how everyone can
get involved.
Events for the 2009-2010 school year include:
Magazine Sale
MPH is once again asking families
to purchase or renew magazine subscriptions through the School. What
is so great about this sale is that it can continue to benefit MPH
all year long. No matter when your subscription is up, you can renew
through MPH and there will be no interruption in your delivery. MPH
will receive 40% of all proceeds. Start supporting MPH now! Go to
www.qsp.com and choose MPH from the school list. Remember, DO NOT renew from the publisher! You will get notices to renew, but the only way to have funds go to the School is to renew directly with QSP. Questions? Call Jennifer
Neuner, Director of Special Events at 446-2452, ext. 116.
Silent Auction
MPH's 14th Annual Silent Auction was a great success! Held on Nove,ber 7, 2009, "Go Overboard with MPH" was chaired by parent, Regina Church. Nearly $65,000 was raised to support MPH. A special thanks to all of the donors, advertisers, sponsors, and bidders!
The Spring Gala
Led by MPH parent, Kathy Adelson, the 2010 Spring Gala is scheduled for May 8, 2010 at Traditions at the Links in East Syracuse. This wonderful event will be the grand celebration of 140 years of Manlius Pebble Hill. We are currently accepting advertisements for the event catalog and sponsorship support. For more information, please visit the Gala website or contact Jenn Neuner, Director of Special Events .
Box Tops for Education
This one is easy! Just clip the "Box Tops for Education"
symbol from any General Mills cereal or food box and turn it in to
MPH. Collection boxes are located all over campus. They can be found
in the Lower Division and Upper School offices, at the reception desk
in McNeil, and in classrooms. The Parents' Association receives money
for each box top, which is used to underwrite expenses for the Fall
Picnic.

sold with an MPH Eats apron for just $10 and are available online

With no added costs to the school or you, the Parents’ Association will receive up to 20% of your purchases made through this site.
Search the Internet and MPH benefits!
GoodSearch.com is a new search
engine powered by Yahoo! which allows you to raise money for Manlius
Pebble Hill School every time you search the Internet. Here’s
how it works: The first time you go onto the GoodSearch web site, designate
Manlius Pebble Hill School as your favorite charity. Then, every time
you search the web using GoodSearch.com,
money will go to MPH without you spending a dime!
Search engines make money from advertisers who place ads on search
results pages. GoodSearch.com redirects ad dollars earned from your
search to your favorite charity or school. Last year search engines
generated nearly $4 billion from advertising. Even a fraction of that
could make a big difference if given to charitable causes.
GoodSearch was founded by Ken and JJ Ramberg, a brother and sister
team who lost their mother to cancer. They encountered so many organizations
in desperate need of money and they wanted to find an easy way for
people to support their favorite cause. This sparked the idea for
GoodSearch.
The more people who use GoodSearch, the more money will go to those
in need. There is no limit to the amount of money that can be raised
through GoodSearch.
