THE 100 CAMPAIGN
Collaboratively run by CCMS PTSA and Panther Partners, the Campaign's goal is to have 100% of CCMS families donate meaningfully to raise $100,000 in the first 100 days of school. This Campaign is our fundraising foundation for key programs and activities as noted above, and it's through the generosity of all CCMS Families that we are able to continue to provide them. Whether you can give $10, $100, or $1000, every dollar counts and no amount is too small to make a difference. 100% of your donation will stay at our school to be used by both PTSA and Panther Partners, the booster club of CCMS. THANK YOU for becoming a generous member of our CCMS community! Your contribution made before the end of the year is 100% deductible on your taxes. Donate today through this link which will take you to the Panther Partners donation page.
