🎟️ Ticket deadlineBuy by Fri, Nov 6 — we need a final count to plan the food.
We're trading the golf course for a parents-only casino night. Table games, a silent auction, and a long-overdue evening out with other Fairmount parents — all of it supporting our school.
The big moments: our silent auction closes that night, and the paddle raise gives everyone a chance to give straight to Fairmount — no bidding required.

For more than 50 years, Fairmount families have brought holiday gifts to the residents of a local senior living community. You may know it as Mountain Vista — it's been renamed Grandview, but it's the same place and the same tradition.
Choose a wish, bring the gift to school, and our volunteers take care of the delivery. See the wishes and sign up »

Say "Spirit Night" at the counter when you buy your tickets — that's what makes it count.
20% of every ticket (about $4 a jumper) comes back to Fairmount. A good way to wear the kids out the night before All In.

Tell your server or cashier "Fundraiser Spirit Night". There's no online code, so carry-out has to be ordered in person.
Fairmount gets 10% of the bill once we reach $300 in sales together, so this one really does need a crowd. It's the same day as the General Meeting — wings before or after?

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! 🔥
