Fundraising

---

The Adopt-a-Class fundraiser originally scheduled for September 5, 2020, has been indefinitely postponed by the Food Lion Community Relations team.  Acting on guidance from health authorities including the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), solicitations at the stores have been suspended through December,  2020.  This fundraiser will be rescheduled when it can be safely administered.   We thank all the members who planned to participate. 

Sponsored fundraising events help raise much needed funds.  Adopt-a-Class TN is registered as a charitable organization with Amazon Smile. This is a subsidiary website of Amazon, with the same pricing and delivery charges, and accepts Amazon Prime.   Amazon Smile donates .5% of the cost of purchased items to your designated charity.  You may visit  https://smile.amazon.com to 

choose Adopt-a-Class TN 

as the recipient of your earned donations.

Adopt-a-Class TN has been nominated as one of 3 nonprofits to compete for a $5000 grant at the next Giving Circle for

the Loudon County chapter of 

100 Women Who Care.  Please visit www.100womenloudoncounty.com.  

At the next meeting,  e will give a 5 minute presentation with handouts for all attendees.   Our grant request will be provision of Scholastic Classroom Magazines for all grades at our supported schools for the 2020-2021 school year.  Members will vote for the “winner takes all” recipient.  If not chosen, we may be selected to compete again. 

Pampered Chef is the premier direct seller of high quality kitchen tools and products.  Quick tips and powerful tools can fuel a faster, no-fuss gourmet cooking experience for family meals and entertaining.  Hosted by Adopt-a-Class volunteer and Pampered Chef consultant Karen Forsyth, our first Open House Party (November, 2019)  featured product displays, door prizes, gift ideas, and tasty food samples.  The event was enjoyable and an excellent fundraiser.  A percentage of 

all sales was donated to Adopt-a-Class TN.  

A second event will be scheduled later this year.
