We Need YOU to Host a POP!

  • A POP is a fundraising party, experience, or event that brings the CP community together for a good cause.
    • POPs can be for kids, for families, or for adults.
    • POPs can be small (10 moms at a game night); medium (20 middle grade students doing crafts on an early dismissal day); or big (150 people at the Garden Theatre for a CP-only movie).
  • CP parents or teachers plan the POPs.
  • The organizers donate their time, the space, and the materials (i.e. hosting a wine tasting party at their home; renting a local bowling alley; purchasing pumpkins and snacks for an after-school jack-o-lantern carving party). 
  • The CP PTO charges admission and handles the sign-ups, and all proceeds benefit CP!

Sounds like something you/you and a friend or two could host?  

Please click here to sign up by October 13!
