Learn About Mayer’s 3 Main Fundraising Initiatives
Annual Fund
The Pledge Drive, Mayer’s largest fundraising effort, begins each Fall. Parents, community members, and local businesses donate funds in support of our school’s amazing initiatives. Donations are accepted year-round.
Mayer Gala
Mayer's annual benefit is an incredible evening of food, fun, and fundraising where parents can enjoy themselves while supporting the school. Live auction and live music make for an evening not to be missed.
Walkathon
A decade-long Mayer tradition, this spring fundraising extravaganza is a meaningful way for students to get involved in raising money for the school.
