One third of the way to our goal!

Darlington Public School's online fundraiser has been running about a week now, and we've just hit the 33% mark towards our goal!

This is a fantastic milestone to reach! Many thanks to everyone who has chipped in so far and helped to spread the word.

All or nothing goal

This type of online fundraiser means that pledges will only be processed into real payments IF we reach our goal. We have 28 more days to hit the $5000 goal or we'll get nothing. Yup, that's right, we'll lose those pledges ($1654 so far) if we don't hit the goal. That's why it's called "All-Or-Nothing."

(Conversely, that means that if you have pledged to the fundraiser, if the goal is not met, no money will be taken from your account).

Help Darlo reach the goal

So what I need you to do - if you haven't already - is help us get to the goal. 

1) Pledge as little as $2 to score a virtual chocolate bar (designed by Suzy Pickles). 

If you haven't yet paid the voluntary school contribution, consider pledging it into the fundraiser. 

2) Ask people who care about your child's education if they can support the fundraiser. Can the grandparents chip in $2? How about aunts, uncles or family friends? 

If Darlington parents do these two things, we will reach the goal without a problem  - and be able to supply more computers to the school.
