PTA Effortless Fundraising

Each year, Lees Corner Elementary School earns thousands of dollars from the purchases our families make at grocery and retail stores.  Last year we made $6,175!  There are three effortless ways to earn money for Lees Corner:  1) grocery store loyalty programs; 2) online shopping, and 3) the Benefit mobile app on your cell phone (just one person earned $200 for Lees Corner using this app last year!). Please see the Keep In Touch message you received yesterday for more information and thank you for your support!
