Hyde-Addison PTA’s largest annual fundraising initiative, the Great Envelope Race, launches in early September each year with a goal of raising $50,000 and achieving 100% family participation by its closing on October 31st. This campaign functions similarly to an annual fund or traditional PTA dues and is a critical source of support for enriching our students’ experience at school.

The suggested contribution is $400 per student, but this is not a required amount. Every gift—no matter the size—makes a difference. What matters most is participation, and we encourage families to give what feels meaningful and manageable for them. Your generosity, in any amount, helps close the funding gap and supports our teachers, staff and students.

We are also seeking at least 10 Gold-Level Donors this year. Becoming a Gold-Level Family Sponsor includes complimentary tickets to all PTA-hosted events for the 2025-2026 school year—such as cocktail parties, family celebrations and our spring gala. When selecting your donation, you’ll see the Gold-Level amounts based on how many children you have enrolled (one, two, or three+), available under both one-time and recurring contribution options.

Let’s reach the finish line together—thank you for fueling the heart of Hyde-Addison!
