EWA Families!
We are excited to launch our Community Business Partners program! Through this program, we will be able to provide a spirited custom shirt to EVERY student in our school, while also raising needed funds.
The primary component of our shirt partnership program is our Event Shirt for our Boosterthon fundraiser. We are hoping to partner with local businesses to help sponsor these shirts. Their logo or name will be displayed on the back of the shirt, and worn by over 800 Kindergarten - 8th grade students in our school.
If you know of, or are part of, a business that would be interested in becoming an EWA Community Business Partner, please send them the linked Business Sponsorship Form for more information.
We need a commitment from all Community Business Partners by Wednesday, September 20th in order to supply all our students with a shirt.
Thank you in advance for supporting our school! If you have any questions, please contact Belinda Lloyd at blloyd@eastwakeacademy.org
