Financial Commitment

At the first meeting, each family will be asked to pledge the amount that they can afford to pay towards the cost of their child’s trip. Reach for the Stars will then add up the pledges and determine if there is any shortfall of funds.

The entire group (families, students, teachers and Reach For The Stars) will raise enough money to cover any shortfall. There will be a number of fundraising activities that will include all participants. This is considered team building. Past fundraiser activities have included:

• Movie Night
• Pizza coupon sales
• Candy sales
• A silent auction
• A combination car wash/bake sale/rummage sale

Our philosophy is that every student who is accepted to MAC Launch will go – regardless of ability to pay. However: If we fail to raise the total amount, the trip will not take place. We all go or no one goes. Everyone will need to participate in fund raising.
