Choose from designs that are serious, cute, or funny. Imprint your school mascot, name and year. Or even hold a T-shirt design contest and showcase the winning design on a new PTO shirt each year.

Crestline’s Hanes® Tagless® 100% Cotton T-Shirt is the perfect promotional basic tee for any PTO design. Made from 100 percent ComfortSoft® cotton, this tee features a tagless label and double needle cover seamed crewneck with a lay-flat collar. Shoulder to shoulder taping and double needle sleeves and hem add lasting durability.

PTO Fundraising Ideas

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.

Looking for something a little unusual? Check out the Revolution Umbrella with WindReflex™ design, which prevents damage to the frame if the umbrella inverts. With a 42" arc and auto open mechanism, this umbrella folds down to 15 1/2" in length.

Appreciation Gifts for PTO Board Members

PTO board members donate a great deal of time and energy to supporting your school. Be sure to show your appreciation throughout the year with sponsored meals, recognition awards, and promotional gifts.

We offer a wide variety of ideas that can be great gifts for PTO board members. For example, our Bamboo Soy Candle With Matching Custom Box features a soda lime glass and unique colors. Soy is non-toxic and burns longer and more efficiently than paraffin, producing no petrol-carbon soot.

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. Volunteers may appreciate T-shirts, hoodies, or other apparel featuring an inspirational volunteer appreciation quote for all to share.
