HELP STUDENTS IN IRVINGTON TODAY!
The season of giving is here! We hope this year you will consider making a gift to the Irvington PTSA’s Bulldog Family Fund, or BFF, which provides support to families in financial need in the Irvington School district.
We all know that the cost of living in Westchester can put a strain on family budgets. But did you know that more than 115 students in the Irvington School District receive free or reduced lunch, living on less than $47,638 for a family of four? Or that 27% of households in Irvington are living on less than $87,396 per year, which is the level deemed necessary for a family of four to meet the basic costs of living in Westchester?*
Last year, through the generosity of members of this community, The Bulldog Family Fund was able to provide $22,240 to students in financial need right here in the Irvington Schools.
You enabled the BFF, working with our amazing district social worker, to provide funds for: school supplies; back-to-school clothing gift cards; instrument rentals; AP exam fees and ACT/SAT prep classes; summer school; photo day packages; yearbooks for students moving up; household items for families in crisis; prom tickets & tuxedo rentals; science competition fees; and summer camp.
With your help, students in financial need were able to fully participate in all that the Irvington School district has to offer. Thank you!!
But to meet the needs of this year’s students, we need your help once again. Remember, 100% of your tax deductible gift goes directly to help our students. Here are some of the ways you can help:
Stop and Shop gift card for holiday meals $25
Sports equipment $75
Prom ticket $100
School clothes $125
School supplies $140
One summer school course $415
Sponsor one child for Irvington Rec. Day Camp $880
We wish you all a joyful holiday season, and thank you for your support!
Should you ever need assistance or have questions regarding what assistance is available, please contact our district social worker, Gina Menendez at (914) 269-5233 or Gina.Menendez@irvingtonschools.org. Names and personal information are kept confidential and are not shared with the PTSA/BFF.

Your tax-deductible donation goes a long way toward helping the PTSA provide: books, winter clothing, food packages, healthy snacks at school, Stop & Shop gift cards, holiday toys, school supplies, photo day packages, yearbooks, college prep courses, school trip assistance, prom tickets, senior dinner tickets, summer school tuition, summer camp experiences and more.

SHARE YOUR WISH & BFF

Did you know your children can share their birthday with the Bulldog Family Fund?
The Bulldog Family Fund (BFF) helps students and families in financial need in our district. This year, 160 students are receiving help through the BFF. All families receiving free or reduced lunch are eligible for help from the BFF, as are other families who find themselves in financial need.
The BFF pays for school supplies, clothing, shoes, sports equipment, prom tickets, summer school, summer camp programs, and other items that all kids need to participate in daily life in Irvington alongside their peers. 100% of the money we raise goes directly to Irvington families in need.
Share Your Wish, an organization started by an Irvington family, allows kids to “share” their birthday with up to three charitable organizations of their choosing. Guests contribute to the child’s birthday page, and after the birthday, Share Your Wish distributes the money collected between the child and the charities the child selected.
Share Your Wish teaches generosity and compassion by making birthday celebrations more about giving and spending time with friends and less about getting more “stuff.” It gives kids a chance to make a difference.
By choosing to support the BFF through Share Your Wish, you are teaching your child to help others in our community!
Please keep us in mind as your child plans his or her birthday party this year. Thank you!
