Edith Cavell Elementary PAC
Direct Donation Drive
September 2026 - June 2027

Historically the majority of the Cavell PAC funds have come through highly labour intensive fundraising. This year, we are asking families to join our Direct Donation Drive to reach $11,800, or just $37 per student. That's more than Carnival raises and with minimal volunteer hours.

This is especially significant as we enter the school year without Carnival or Silent Auction Coordinators and multiple PAC Executive positions vacant.
By contributing to approximately a third of the PAC budget through direct donations, you are helping free up countless volunteer hours. This will allow our parent volunteers to focus on fun social events without the burden of meeting the budget. The fundraising campaigns families have come to rely on, such as Hot Lunch and Pizza Days, remain vital as do sales campaigns like Purdys and Sun Oka Apples. But every Direct Donation made, lessens the reliance on labour intensive events.
While our goal averages around $37 per student (based on 2025/26 enrollment and prior budgets), any amount may be donated, and every amount helps! Our new payment platform, Zeffy, even allows for monthly contributions (though these don't receive tax receipts). Contributions are eligible for tax receipts - make sure to follow payment instructions for School Cash Online. Credit Card, debit, and Apple Pay are available with 100% of the funds coming to the PAC. Yes, ZERO transaction fees. Instead, Zeffy will prompt you for a donation during check out. You are welcome to select a percentage, custom amount, or enter $0.

The 2026-2027 Direct Donation Drive will run until June 2027 OR until we hit our budget.
