Description

Our largest fundraiser of the year is our Annual Tricky Tray. This year, the event will be held on April 4, 2025 at 6PM at the Franklin Borough School. During the Tricky Tray, donated items are separated into four categories by price; a Regular Tray has a minimum value of $25, a Special Tray has a minimum value of $100, a Super Tray has a minimum value of $250, and a Mega Tray has a minimum value of $500. This year we will also have a Surprise Table with cash and lottery prizes between $100 and $999. Patrons purchase tickets and place them in a numbered container and a ticket is drawn from the corresponding container to determine the winner of that specific tray. In addition to local donations, many corporations donate their products to be showcased at our event. Last year, we had over 250 baskets and were able to raise about $20,000 for our school community. Our goal this year is to bring back fun activities such as assemblies and field trips and more for this year’s students and next years as well. We strive to assist all departments and with your assistance, we can make a difference in the lives of children.
