In an effort to raise funds for Westminster Nursery School, the third large-scale fundraising event is under way. Proceeds from the event will directly fund WNS school related activities not covered in the annual operating budget.
Last year we raised over $20,000.00! That money went toward new equipment for the classrooms, technology items, and scholarships. These things directly benefit our children by enhancing their experience at the school.
This year's event will feature:
Whether you have kids at the school now, or did in the past, or maybe you're a member of the Westminster Presbyterian Church community, we hope that you plan to support the nursery school by attending this exciting event!

There are a number of ways in which you can help make our fundraising event a success!
It will be a great evening with music, art, drinks and tons of chocolate, so bring your friends, bring your relatives, bring them all! Tickets can be purchased by calling the nursery school office at (412) 835-2906.
This will be one of our key fundraising efforts during the evening, and we need goods of all sorts to make it a success. Sports Tickets and Memorabilia, Spa Services, Restaurant Gift Certificates, Rounds of Golf, and Good Wines - these are all excellent sellers! We are also looking for some weekend get-a-ways to raffle off, so if you have access to a house or condo that you would be willing to donate let us know. (It's a great tax write-off!)
We are hoping to have anywhere from 250 to 400 people at our event. Advertising in the program is a great way to support Westminster Nursery School and get some exposure for your business. Ads can also be purchased to acknowledge students, teachers or staff members. Rates run from $40 - $100.
Do you want to see your business' name displayed to all of the event attendees during the evening? Then you should consider being an event sponsor. Sponsorship levels range from $300 - $1500, and include other marketing benefits.
We also need volunteers to help with the event. This could be selling tickets, set-up, clean-up, stuffing mailers, and/or picking-up desserts. Any and all help is welcome and appreciated! This is a great way to spend just a little time and make a big impact.
If you would like to support our event, please contact Jennifer Pusateri at (724) 941-2508, or the nursery school office at (412) 835-2906.
Thank you in advance for your support!

Sponsoring this event is a great way to promote your business and give to a good cause at the same time.
Support Westminster Nursery School by sponsoring the "Candy Bar". As part of our celebration we will have a table made up exclusively of penny candy that event attendees can enjoy throughout the evening. As the "Candy Bar" sponsor you will be recognized at the event with signage at the bar, as well as a full-page ad in the event program and listing as an event sponsor in any pertinent event publicity. In addition, attendees will be invited to make "goody bags" to take home to their families, which will have our event logo and your business name and logo on them. This has been extremely popular in past years. Don't pass up this "sweet" deal to represent your business!
Eight businesses or individuals will have the opportunity to support our school and event by signing up as a Gallery Patron. Gallery Patrons will have their business name displayed on a portion of our art gallery recognizing you as a supporter of our event (Gallery sponsored by "Your Business"). In addition you will receive a full page advertisement in the event program, and a listing as an event sponsor in all pertinent materials.
You can show your support of the school by purchasing and advertisement in our event program. Ad rates run from $40 - $200. Choose advertising info above for rates and sizes. This is great way for you to promote your business or for parents to recognize a teacher.

Thank you for your interest in advertising in the event program! Below are some general guidelines and the advertising options. If you have any questions, please contact Maggie Cameron at 412-480-6081 or maggiecameron@mac.com.
Our theme for the evening revolves around Chocolate! We are requesting that your donation be in the chocolate vain (although we will not turn anything down!). You can be creative: white chocolate, chocolate and fruit, or desserts that contain chocolate as one of the ingredients.
We are anticipating 250 at our event, but our room can accommodate up to 400. We are requesting that each business donate enough to give a minimum of 100 people a taste of what you offer. Small, individual samplers or tastings are preferrable, but again, we will not turn anything down!
We can arrange to have your donation picked up by a committee member on the day of the event, or sooner if possible.
Your desserts/candies will be displayed on tables throughout the event. Each donation will have a placard identifying the business that donated the dessert. If you are able to give us your donation "table ready" that would be immensely helpful. However, if this is not possible, we will work with the staff at the Crowne Plaza Hotel to display your dessert in an aesthetically pleasing manner. A representative from your business is welcome to come to the hotel and set up the display to your liking, and you are welcome to have your representative present during the event to serve the desserts and further promote your business.
Aside from that warm fuzzy feeling you'll get from supporting your community, you will receive the following:
