👋 Proudly serving our Firebirds in Golden, Colorado. We're your all-volunteer PTA — a 501(c)(3) partnering with families, teachers and staff to make every child's potential a reality.
Here's how this year's budget breaks down.
Wondering why we ask you to join and to give? Your $22 membership doesn't buy the field trip. It buys the organization that makes the field trip possible — the legal standing, the insurance, the volunteers, the vote. Then the other 95% of our budget pays for the trip.
Every family makes Fairmount stronger — whether you join, give, or lend an hour. It all lands on our kids. Every Child. One Voice. Go Firebirds! 🔥
2026-2027 PTA Business Sponsorships
Friends of Fairmount,
We're so grateful for the incredible support our business partners provide each year. Your sponsorships make a real difference in the daily lives of our students and teachers.
This past year, thanks to generous sponsors, we upgraded our security cameras and added new shade structures and tables to the playground. For the 2026–2027 school year, we’re hoping to build on that momentum with
-
additional camera improvements
-
more outdoor learning spaces and shade
-
fun enhancements to the back playground area
We also continue to fund field trips, classroom books and supplies, the Learning Garden, student assemblies, and help for families in need through our Angel Fund.
We’re evolving our sponsorship program for broader year-round engagement. Our goal remains to raise $30,000 in corporate sponsorships to support these projects and more. In return, we offer meaningful visibility for your business while you help strengthen our school community.
We're excited about this year’s lineup of events, including our bigger-than-ever Back to School Bash, a new Parent Social / Themed Night Out, and the Fairmount Fit Fest & 5K — a celebration of wellness, movement, and community for our Firebirds.
The sponsorship brochure is available for download and outlines all the levels and benefits. We'd love to chat about how we can tailor a partnership that works well for your business goals.
Thank you for considering joining us (again) this year — we truly couldn't do this without you.
Warmly,
The Fairmount PTA Board & Sponsorship Team
