Amana PTO Fundraiser: Socks for Good
Want to look cute, feel cuter, and help a GREAT cause? Shop for some snazzy socks and support your favorite PTO at the same time. We want to raise funds to help with funding some of our continual programming needs and also build up our account so that next school year when we return to full F2F that we can have funding to do all the wonderful things that our Amana Community wants to do. BUT even more AWESOME, is that for every 2 pairs of socks purchased, we get 1 free pair to donate to a charity of our choosing.
