Passive Fundraising

Get “FREE” Money for Puesta Del Sol when you collect box tops from your grocery purchases, dine at local restaurants, shop at grocery and drug stores, or shop online.  No Donations Required.  It's easy!!!  Clip and drop off Box Tops, participate in Dining and Activities for Dinero events, or follow the links to register your rewards cards.  See program details below or contact us at [email protected] with any questions.  Thank you for helping our kids!

  • Box Tops for Education - Clip and save Box Tops from General Mills products to earn money for our school!  Each Box Top is worth 10¢. In 2015-16, the Puesta del Sol community did a great job collecting over 7,500 box tops. Our first grade classes won our annual grade-level Box Tops Competition.  We are collecting Box Tops until the end of the year and they can be turned into the collection box in the school office. 

  • Dining and Activities for Dinero - These programs are ways in which the Puesta del Sol PTA raises money by receiving a portion of your purchase price for the sponsored event, which expands beyond just dining! We have teamed up with area vendors so that when you purchase and either mention Puesta del Sol or present a required coupon or flyer, the Puesta del Sol PTA receives a portion of your purchase back – often as much as 20%! Check out our latest offers!
