In response to the intrusion at OMPS this Monday, we are running a special fundraiser for the sole purpose of upgrading the security of the school entrances. Donations will be restricted for this purpose, and donations of $5,000 or more will receive two tickets to our annual dinner at The Boathouse Traverse City this coming Fall!

We have a generous matching contribution of $5,000 for the first $5,000 raised. If you are local, and wish to pay by credit card (and Zeffy isn't giving the option to do so), then please reach out to the school to coordinate payment. (231) 252-0225

Old Mission Peninsula School needs a new roof!

It's been 20 years since the roof has been updated, and we want our kids and teachers to know that they are well covered.

Please take the time to donate (cash/check/matured stock) if you are able, or share with any other OMPS alumni or community. We appreciate ANY and ALL donations.

Thank you!

Hey Friends! Happy 🥰
We are making a couple donations in honor of this day.

🐶 We are giving $500 to the Cherryland Humane Society and we would like to invite you to give too! Head to cherrylandhumane.org/donate to donate funds. In addition, we will be offering a 10% discount to anyone who brings in an item or proof of purchase of an item from the Cherryland Humane Society’s amazon wishlist page, found at the same link listed above. We will be honoring this discount until next Tuesday!

📚 We will also be donating $1500 to the Old Mission Peninsula Education Fund. They have taken costly steps to continue safely education children, and can use our help in maintaining those materials & safety precautions.

We would not be able to give these gifts if not for our incredible patrons, so a big thank you to those who have supported us this year! We hope to continue working to assist our community every day of the year.

❤️
