​Get your costumes ready and join us for our festive fall fundraiser.  We'll have decorated classroom pumpkins for auction, food and drinks, face painting, Trunk-or-Treat, and the Thorp ​​Monster Mash-A-Thon (our first ever dance-a-thon fundraiser)!  Show off your Fortnite moves, jump, or just move any which way to help raise big bucks for Thorp!

We're inviting students, parents, and teachers to participate in our first ever dance-a-thon fundraiser.  Click here to become a fundraiser and share your fundraising pages across your social media platforms.  The top two classrooms (K-3 and 4-8) with the most money raised will win a frozen treat party!  Participants remaining on the dancefloor at the end of the dance-a-thon will also be entered  into a drawing for an amazing raffle prize!  Other prize categories include "top, individual fundraiser", as well as "best decorated Trunk-or-Treat car". 

We need your help!  We're looking for face painters, DJ's, candy donations and decorated Trunk-or-Treat cars where parents can pass out candy.  Visit our volunteer sign-up to find out how you can donate candy and help out!  Thanks for your support!

CORPORATE MATCHING
Corporate matching gift programs allow corporations the opportunity to give back to the organizations that their employees are connected with.  Each corporate matching gift program is different.  Some programs match dollar for dollar, some double the gift, while others only match a certain percentage.  To learn more about your company's matching gift program, please contact your Human Resources Department.
"DOLLARS for doers"
Also known as volunteer grants, these corporate giving programs convert your volunteer hours to actual dollars earned for a qualified non-profit organization, such as Friends of Thorp.  If you volunteer at Thorp in any capacity, please contact your HR department to find out if your company participates in a "Dollars for Doers" volunteer grant program and designate Friends of Thorp as your non-profit organization.  Click here to check out how some of the Fortune 500 companies match volunteer hours.
