National PTA and Schwan’s Home Service, Inc. Renew Collaboration
to Help Raise Funds for Schools and Communities
ALEXANDRIA, Va., (Aug. 24, 2016)—National PTA and Schwan’s Home Service, Inc. are pleased to announce a continuation of their collaboration, which provides fundraising opportunities to local PTAs across the country. National PTA and Schwan’s Home Service first joined forces in May 2014 and share a commitment to making a difference for families, schools and communities.
“PTAs have a real impact on children, families and education—from supplementing classroom lessons with activities that make learning fun to ensuring students have a healthy and safe environment in which to live, learn and thrive,” said Laura Bay, president of National PTA. “National PTA is thrilled to continue our collaboration with Schwan’s Home Service for a third year to support local PTAs in raising funds that help schools improve and communities grow and prosper.”
For more than 60 years, Schwan’s Home Service has been delivering high-quality frozen foods right to families’ doors, making it easier to create delicious home-style meals. Schwan’s Home Service, through the Schwan’s Cares™ fundraising program, helps schools, sports teams and other community groups raise funds online by ordering from Schwan’s Home Service, Inc.
Through National PTA and Schwan’s Home Service’s collaboration, Schwan’s Home Service will:
- Contribute 20-40% of each total purchase to a buyer’s preferred school for all purchases made through a PTA campaign on the Schwan’s Cares™ Fundraising Network platform for the first 45 days. Additionally, after the initial campaign period of 45 days, schools earn 5% on purchases made during the next 90 days.
- Offer PTA members a new-customer discount of $10 off of $50 on their first Schwan’s Home Service order.
“By providing meaningful resources and programs, National PTA continues to find ways to truly impact schools and communities,” said Dave Muscato, president of Schwan’s Home Service, Inc. “We are proud to continue our relationship with National PTA for a third year to provide a seamless fundraising option for PTAs nationwide. We believe all schools should have the opportunity to raise the funds they need to provide the necessary resources to our nation’s youth.”
