Fundraising Fun
Easy Ways to Give — without spending an extra dime!
At Carmel Del Mar, our only major fundraiser of the year is our Read-a-Thon. Every October, Dragons read their hearts out while collecting pledge money from friends, family, and neighbors to support our PTA’s annual programs. We ask that each student aim to raise at least $100, and we are so grateful for your participation.
​
But did you know there are simple, everyday ways to support our school year-round without writing a check or selling anything?
​
These are called Passive Fundraisers and they make a big impact.

Restaurant Nights are an easy (and delicious!) way to support CDM! A few times a year, we partner with local restaurants who generously donate a percentage of sales back to our school. All you have to do is dine in, take out, or order delivery on the event night and mention CDM when you order! It’s a fun way to treat your family while giving back to our amazing students — no extra cost to you.
