We are excited to announce our “Donate the Date” Fundraising Campaign in support of improving our school playground. This initiative will help fund updates to the Amherst Elementary playground—creating a safer, more engaging, and inspiring space for our students to play and grow.

To learn more about the improvements we hope to make, please visit our Donate the Date page. There, you’ll find details about our playground goals, planned facility updates, and ways you can get involved in supporting these efforts.

Participants are invited to “donate the date” by selecting one or more calendar dates and contributing the corresponding dollar amount—for example, $1 for the 1st, $10 for the 10th, and so on. Each contribution, regardless of size, makes a meaningful impact and brings us closer to achieving our goal.

Donations can be made with cash, checks payable to Amherst PTO, or through our online donation platform, Zeffy. To get started, scan the QR code on the calendar page. Click the Fundraise button, find your child’s teacher, set a fundraising goal, and generate a shareable link to send to family and friends. If you need help setting up your fundraising page on Zeffy, watch this video.
