Bonny Slope Annual Gala and Auction
The Bonny Slope Auction is the largest fundraiser of the year for students at Bonny Slope Elementary School. Proceeds from the auction are used to fund many of the educational, enrichment and community activities along with technology and capital improvements we enjoy at Bonny Slope. It is vital to every student at every grade and is truly a “party with a purpose.” We recognize the importance of supporting the remarkable work done here as we develop students into leaders and lifelong learners. Learn at the auction’s dedicated site.

Jogathon
Our annual Jog-A-Thon is a school-wide event that promotes fun and fitness while raising funds for BSCO’s annual budget. Students will solicit pledges/donations and then run, jog, or walk their way to the finish line. The money raised supports programs that directly enrich students' education and experience here at Bonny Slope. There are opportunities to contribute in many capacities before, during and after the event. This could include donation of raffle prizes, event sponsorship, volunteering your time to help with planned activities that will excite and encourage student participation, tracking students' completed laps at the event, and distributing prizes to students after the event. Please be on the look-out for volunteer opportunities communicated via the BSCO and BSE newsletters, social media and through designated classroom coordinators. This is a beloved school event and your support is vital to reaching our fundraising goal and in making Jog-A-Thon a fun and memorable event for our students!
Bridge the gap
Our spring fundraiser is where you simply write a check or donate online to the BSCO. Based on community feedback, we are keeping it plain and simple and will not ask your child to sell wrapping paper, cookie dough or wreaths. Instead, every donation will go directly to BSCO's programs. These donations are tax deductible and many companies will provide matching funds. All donation information is strictly confidential. This program provides a simple, easy, no-fuss way to contribute and is only held if Jog-a-Thon and Auction don't fulfill our budgetary needs.
Matching Funds
Many local employers provide matching funds for donations to BSCO. Please check with your human resources department to find out if your company matches employee donations to non-profits. Please contact our VP of Fundraising if you would like to provide additional information about your company’s matching program.
