Putting the FUN in Fundraising

We are aware budget cuts have affected all of us in California. Many organizations are painfully under budgeted and may not survive an economic recovery. At PUMP’d, we would like to help out your organization by hosting a PUMP’d FUNdraiser!

The concept is quite simple. Here is how PUMP’d FUNdraising works:

  • Contact PUMP’d at 761-5321. Provide us your organization name, class number, Tax ID number or team information, as well as a contact person and phone number. Your group will be given a date on our FUNdraising Calendar. Each organization may receive up to two days per school year.
  • Announce through your organization that PUMP’d will donate 15% of your specific day’s OPEN JUMP REVENUE to your organization—No sweets to prepare, no booth to staff, no stress for anyone involved.
  • Encourage participation from everyone in your community to visit PUMP’d on your particular day. Use your website, newsletter, Twitter and/or Facebook accounts, reminder notes with homework packets, banners at school, etc. to get the word out that money will be generated and sent directly to your group.

Within one week of your specific date, PUMP’d will issue a check to your organization. A letter will accompany it describing how many people visited OPEN JUMP on your day and how much money your organization has earned.

We sincerely hope that your organization considers PUMP’d FUNdrasing as a valuable option for generating additional funds for your class, school and/or team. We are looking forward your continued success!

*Dates will be scheduled during normal operating OPEN JUMP hours Monday-Thursday through May 2010. We will have blackout dates during school/federal holidays. Dates will be issued on a first come, first serve basis

Family Fun Night - September 10th




It's time once again for Family Fun Night at PUMP'd. We've decided to mix things up a bit for our final installment of the Summer.


The September edition of Family Fun Night will be focused on community and safety. We're proud to have McGruff the Crime dog, with members of the Watsonville Police Department join us to help our younger customers learn how they can help take a bite out of crime. So please bring your cameras.


Also joining us will be firefighters from the Watsonville Fire Department. They will be rolling in on one of their fire engines. This is a great opportunity for your youngster to get up-close and personal with some of the brave firefighters from our area -- not to mention an opportunity to climb into a real fire engine! The firefighters will stay with us for as long as possible, however they are on duty and could get called away at a moments notice.


We look forward to seeing you there.


Details:
  • Thursday, September 10th. 6:00pm to 8:00pm

  • $7.50/person (kids under 2 are free!)

  • Includes 2 slices of pizza and beverages for everyone

  • Full access to our inflatables & toddler area
