Fundraising Overview

Fundraising is a crucial part of maintaining the diversity of programs, quality of facilities and type of experience at Lakeside. Participation by families is a significant measure of success, as it indicates a committed and involved parent base. Grant providers and other programs are looking for an involved parent base when they are considering Lakeside. The fact you donate counts more than the actual dollar amount of your donation for grant applications.

The funds are used to improve playground equipment, school infrastructure and school systems, and support enrichment programs.

In addition to the Annual Fund drive, there are a variety of fundraising activities throughout the year. These activities are described below. Since every family is unique, Lakeside wants to provide as many opportunities for people to contribute in ways that feel most natural.

Annual Fund Drive

The Annual Fund Drive is a major fundraiser; this year the Annual Fund target is $15,000 with a goal for 100% participation.
