other ways to support us
Starting in 2022, Friends of Lakewood PTA is partnering with local restaurants on a monthly basis to host Eat Out for Lakewood days. During each event a portion of the restaurant's proceeds will go to the PTA.
The annual Bulldog Block Party festival and fundraiser for Lakewood Elementary PTA will be held on the school grounds this coming May!
This event is open to the community and we encourage you to bring your whole family for an afternoon of games, fun activities, a silent auction, and a chance to win some amazing raffle items!
If you are a business or individual interested in donating a service or item for our silent auction or interested in becoming an event sponsor, please contact fundraising@lakewoodelementary.org
