Parent Night: Fundraising Script for Success

Parent Night Fundraiser Introduction

Script: Hello! I’m ________ (name and title, e.g., PTO President), and I’m excited to share details about our Fall Fundraiser! This year, we’ve partnered with Charleston Wrap® and are confident this fundraiser will be a big success for our school!

We wanted to select a simple, high-quality fundraiser that parents would love. Charleston Wrap® is known for their signature Ultra-Heavy™ gift wrap—thick, high-quality paper that’s reversible, offering two designs for the price of one! With hundreds of holiday and all-occasion designs and generous square footage per roll, it’s a fantastic value. Best of all, every purchase directly supports our school.

DEMONSTRATION: If your school ordered a Display Kit (highly recommended), use one roll of Charleston Wrap® to show the square footage difference between Charleston Wrap® and a typical dollar store roll. Have a few volunteers unroll both side-by-side—parents will be amazed.

Beyond gift wrap, Charleston Wrap® offers gourmet kitchen cookware, home décor, personalized gifts, and delicious treats—great for crossing off items on your holiday gift list while supporting our school.

Please refer to your fundraising packet for registration instructions and how to send invitations to family and friends. With your help, we’ll meet our fundraising goals. Thank you for your support!
