Does your PTO need to raise money for educational programs, special field trips, events, new facilities, renovations, repairs, or even school supplies for disadvantaged students? Then it’s time to roll out some solid fundraising ideas. One of the top items on your school fundraising checklist should be to custom print some fun school logo items for proud parents and community members to buy.
PTO shirt ideas for fundraisers are typically tees with your school name, logo or team mascot. Items such as car magnets, stickers, and decals, sweatshirts and hoodies, tote bags, water bottles and tumblers are also appreciated by family members.
Custom online stores are perfect for PTO fundraisers, giving students, family members and community supporters the opportunity to shop at their leisure for elementary, middle school and high school spirit wear to support your school.

Awards & Recognition Items
Just like appreciating your PTO board members is important, be sure to recognize your PTO volunteers as well. They are frequently the behind-the-scenes engine that keeps everything going throughout the year. Although they are often happy to give their time, talent, and energy for their children’s school, it’s appreciated when their efforts are noticed by the PTO.
Consider a Full Color Certificate Holder, perfect for your custom printed certificate recognizing specific contributions. Corner cut slits accommodate both 8" x 10" and 8-1/2" x 11", and a printed front and back cover makes the recognition more formal.
