Exciting fundraiser with SF Gay Men’s Chorus!
Fantastic news from the SF Gay Men’s Chorus: this year’s Christmas Eve concerts at the Castro Theatre will once again benefit HMCRA! In 2015, the Castro Theatre concerts raised over $15K for our school! To make the most of this incredible fundraising opportunity, we need HMCRA volunteers to attend the concerts, wear Harvey Milk t-shirts, and collect donations from audience members before and after the concerts. Parents, students, and other family members can all volunteer. BONUS–you will get to enjoy a spectacular holiday concert for free!

This fundraiser has the potential to bring in significant money to the school, and it takes very little effort. If you shop at Amazon just go to (and BOOKMARK!) our website's link: harveymilk.com/amazon/ before adding anything to your basket, and we will earn up to 10% of your Amazon purchases! This is NOT the AmazonSmile Program (it's bigger and better!) but can be combined with that by selecting "Harvey Milk Parent Faculty Club" as your charity, which earns an extra 0.5%.
