Fundraising

Irving’s Tasty Dog Challenge 2014 is TODAY!!!! until 8:30 pm!!!
Today is our day! Hope to see you at The Tasty Dog anytime between 11am and 8:30pm. When you mention “Irving” they will donate 15% of food sales to our school. Raffle tickets are being sold on site also.
In terms of parking – great news…The OP Police Dept. WILL NOT BE TICKETING those cars parked ON EUCLID (the East side street) during the hours of 5PM – 8PM on THE NIGHTS OF THE TASTY DOG CHALLENGE!! (In case you need to park there)
See you tonight!

This event raises money for the PTO in two ways:

  1.                 Tasty Dog donates 15% of every sale that day when you say you are with Irving School. Plus, the school that raises the most money also gets additional $$$ from cash prize sponsors.

2.                 Raffle Tickets. For $1 you can have the chance to earn some great prizes.

Each $1 ticket gives you a chance to win one of many amazing prizes such as Chicago Bears, Wolves, Cubs and Fire tickets, School of Rock summer camp session, A2 night stay at a resort in Lake Geneva, Tennis and Fitness Center gift certificates, and much, much more!

 See the full flyer for prizes.
