Dear Hyde-Addison Families,

We hope you all had a restful long weekend!  We're excited to share that our Double Good Popcorn Fundraiser kicks off tomorrow, Monday, December 1st at 9:00 AM and runs only through Friday, December 5th at 9:00 AM--just FOUR DAYS to help us make a BIG impact for our school.

For reference, in 2024 15 sellers sold $7,135; in 2023 19 sellers sold $8,300; and in 2022 18 sellers sold $9,500.  Double Good gives 50% of those sales directly back to Hyde-Addison, which all goes directly toward closing the DCPS funding gap, and we're hoping to match (or even exceed!) that success this year.  These funds are critical for school programming, supplies, field trips, staff retention, continuing education and so much more!

Double Good's popcorn is genuinely delicious--perfect for holiday gifts, birthday party goodies, cozy movie nights, teacher gifts or just an easy snack to have on hand.

Two Easy Ways to Participate
You can support the fundraiser in whichever way works best for your family:

1. Buy Popcorn Directly From the PTA's Virtual Pop-Up Shop
If you're short on time but still want to contribute, this is the simplest option--just click, shop and you're done!  Buy Popcorn From the PTA Shop Here!

2. Create Your Own Virtual Popcorn Store
This helps us raise the most funds!  Setting up your store takes under 2 minutes and requires no sales, no deliveries and no money exchange!  Double Good handles all payment and ships all orders directly to buyers.

**BONUS!** The first 20 families to set up their online stores and complete their first popcorn sale will get a Hyde-Addison canvas tote on us!

All you do is:
1. Download the Double Good app
2. Enter our event code: KDGQIV
3. Tap "Create Store" (just upload a photo-any photo!)
4. Share your link with friends, family, coworkers, neighbors--anyone!
(see our instagram stories @hydeaddisonpta for more detailed instructions!)

TIP: The fundraiser begins at 9:00AM tomorrow.  If you create your store today, you can schedule your outreach email (see example template below) to send at 9AM tomorrow and boom--you've already helped Hyde-Addison kickstart a successful week!
