The elementary school’s budget does not have the funds for many of the programs organizers wish to have at the school.

School staff developed the fundraiser to supplement these additional cost without taking money from other programs in the budget.

“This year, Castaic Elementary School is proud to host our first annual bunco fundraiser,”  said Castaic Elementary staff in a news release. “We are asking for your help this year by giving a tax-deductible donation to Castaic Elementary School.”

Castaic Elementary’s PTA will be accepting donations in the form of an item for the raffle baskets, a gift card, gift certificate or cash sponsorship to help sponsor the event.

All proceeds from this event will go directly back to the school, to hire an art teacher or a music teacher and funding field trips, classroom supplies and chromebooks, according to school faculty.

A big attraction for participants will be the raffle baskets at the day of the event, made from generous product donations from community businesses, according to officials. .

The bunco fundraiser event is scheduled to be held at Wolf Creek Brewery in Valencia on April 21.

The deadline for sponsorships is March 23, and the deadline for donations is April 2.
