Soft Fundraising
What is Soft Fundraising?
Soft Fundraising are programs designed to earn money for our school while you are making everyday purchases. There is no selling door to door, hitting up friends and relatives for sponsorship. It is our job to make you AWARE of all the programs that are available, so when you are running errands, you make a conscience shopping decision to support Alpharetta Elementary. It’s that simple!!
