We are a Non Profit
Patterson PTO is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization that supports Patterson Elementary School. We operate under the Chandler School Boosters (CSB), which manages all CUSD PTO and Booster organizations. Our Tax ID number is 35-2451830.
The PTO raises funds to not only purchase items needed by Patterson but also provide enrichment opportunities for students and allow for family fun events!
We are run purely by the power of volunteers. All Patterson parents and teachers are encouraged to get involved in the many opportunities available throughout the year.
P4P Week
Patterson PTO operates from a budget based off of income from fundraising events, direct donations, and sponsorships. This year, the main PTO fundraiser is our Project for Patterson Campaign #P4P. This direct donation campaign is February 12 through February 16. #P4P is the only type of fundraising event that keeps 100% of all donations at Patterson. We do NOT split the proceeds with any third-party fundraising company! All donations made to Progress for Patterson are tax deductible!
