PARENTS ASSOCIATION
Annual Appeal

Annual Appeal is the major annual fundraiser sponsored by the Parents Association. The PA charges no dues or fees of any kind, and, therefore, every fall, each family is asked to make a financial contribution in order to fund PA activities, including Rising Stars, grants, scholarships, and special events.

An annual fall event, Annual Appeal has been the primary source of funding for the LaGuardia Arts Parents Association in recent years. Each year, the good folks at AFTRA donate their offices and telephones for parent volunteers to call the parent body and ask for their annual contribution to the school. Annual Appeal enables the PA to provide additional support to the Studios, for example, new kilns for the art studio. Annual Appeal also allows the PA to support projects that benefit the entire school, such as the LaGuardia Arts website, Rising Stars, school sweatshirts, and a proposed face-lift for the lobby, While other fundraising events and efforts have started to emerge, Annual Appeal remains the Parents Association's major source of income and the key to our ability to support our school and thereby our children.
