Parents Helping Parents

• Fundraiser Dates June 9th-June 23rd


• All packets must be turned into the studio by June 23rd!!


• Packets were handed out at the parent meeting that was held June 9th. If you did not get a packet please pick one up at the Vision office.


• The Blue Gateway Snack Foods catalog is missing the price - this was a misprint by the rep and he deeply apologizes! All items in the Blue Gateway catalog are $14 each.

This fundraising opportunity is optional. But remember, you are guaranteed a minimum of 25% commission of all your sales. That amount will go towards any of your Vision expenses (tuition, costumes, etc.) If everyone participates and sells just one item from each catalog the percentage would go up to 40%!!!

For any questions you have regarding the fundraising event please contact team mom: Mindy Howard at 801-718-2836.
