RAISE CRAZE
Welcome to our Raise Craze fundraiser! This the PTA's main fundraiser of the year and a unique way for us to raise money for Briarlake Elementary while making an impact in our community.
During this fundraiser, students ask friends and family for donations via the online Raise Craze platform while paying it forward serving others. What a great way for us to teach our students the importance of kindness and gratitude while raising much needed funds.
Every student can participate in Raise Craze by completing Acts of Kindness (AOK), so we’re aiming for 100% participation. Let's go, Briarlake Beavers!
