Darlington Parents & Community Association: Help Darlo Go Digital!

Online School Fundraiser

We've just launched our first online fundraiser "Help Darlo Go Digital" to raise money for computers for Darlington Public School.

Why an online school fundraiser?

An online fundraiser allows parents to share the link to family and friends who may live far away, who wouldn't be able to get involved in one of our barbeques, bake sales, or raffles.

It also makes it easier to share with organisations and people who care about getting more computers into public schools and might be able to spread the word to a bigger group of people who might be able to help. This type of fundraiser has been used to raise up to millions of dollars by tapping into people who care.

Three ways you can help us reach our goal

Visit the fundraiser online, watch the video, read the details : Link
Pledge your support. Every dollar helps! There are some great rewards for giving your support.
Share: Tell some of your friends and family about it and give them the link, whether by phone, email, social media or in person.

Spreading the word is just as important as pledging money - so even if you can't give financially please think about helping us reach our goal in other ways.

More ways you can help:

Put up a poster at your workplace, on a community noticeboard, on electricity poles, or in local cafes.
Letter box your neighbourhood with flyers
Blog about it
Ask local businesses to chip in
If you have media contacts, ask them to mention it or do a story.
Get your kids involved in saying "Thank You" to fundraiser supporters (more info below).

Saying Thank You to Supporters

The rewards being offered to supporters are mostly ways of saying "Thank You" for their help. We are getting students involved in this as we think it's important that they be part of the process. Children will participate in saying "Thank You" by either writing an email, making a card, certificate of appreciation, or video.

If your child is at Darlington Public School, please fill out a consent form and return it to the Front Desk so your child can participate.

Four ways you can help us say thank you to supporters:

Complete and return the consent form to the school:
View the "backers" list on the fundraiser, and say thank you either in the comments section, by social media, or if you know them personally by email, phone, or in-person.
