Dear Parents/Guardians,
Memorial Day School is participating in the FundingFactory® Recycling Program! This fundraiser is FREE and simple because there’s nothing to sell, no paperwork to fill out and no deadline. The program runs year-round, accumulating constant income for our efforts. But we won’t get very far without your support. Please donate your empty printer cartridges and used cell phones to Memorial Day School and we’ll take it from there! We will recycle the cartridges and cell phones through FundingFactory to earn cash that will be used for technology or recreational equipment for our physical education program.
Last year alone, more than 300 million cartridges were thrown away, while 30,000,000 cell phones were tossed or replaced. We’re alleviating the volume of waste that goes into landfills, while collecting used cartridges and cell phones that can be turned into cash that can be used to enhance our programs. Your help is vital to our fundraising success. Cell phones and cartridges can be dropped off at the school office or FundingFactory sponsors a businesses support program, where your employer can help out our school without spending a cent. Prepaid shipping boxes can be sent, free of charge, directly to any business, organization or other facility within the continental United States. Business supporters simply need to load the boxes and leave them for the next UPS pickup. If you work for a company that may be interested in supporting us, please call FundingFactory toll-free at 1.888.883.8237. Give the customer service representative our school identification number, 1962 and they’ll set you up to support our account.
If you have any questions about this great opportunity, or want to support our program in another way, please feel free to call me at 912-352-4535 or e-mail me at msussman@memday.org.
Thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
Mark A. Sussman
