SUPPORT PTO
Mustang Socials
Mustang Socials are parent-hosted events that turn fun gatherings into direct support for Memorial Elementary.
Every ticket sold strengthens our classrooms, supports teachers, and keeps our school community thriving.
How Mustang Socials Work
1
Hosts Create an Event
A parent or group of parents, create an event to be hosted after The Party on Nov 14th. They will choose details like:

Hosts cover all costs, allowing 100% of proceeds to go back to Memorial PTO. Want more information - click HERE.

Families Snag Tickets
Tickets are first-come, first serve. They will be available for purchase when the Auction goes live a week before The Party on Nov 14th.
​
If you want a ticket and they are sold out, email Taylor Mundy (Socials@memorialpto.com) to be placed on that wait list.
If a ticket holder cannot attend, they can gift their ticket to a friend or forfeit. Their purchase will be considered a donation, and we'll reach out to people on the waitlist to fill their spot.
​
The lucky attendees get to make memories with fellow Mustangs. To learn more or if you want to host, but not sure on a theme, reach out to Taylor Mundy at socials@memorialpto.com
Ideas & Examples
Anna, whose son is in 4th grade at Memorial, loved playing soccer when she was in elementary school.
She decides to organize a game in the school Spark Park. It will be parents versus kids, with teams of 15 each. Anna decides to limit the age to 3rd grade and up so no little ones get hurt. She's willing to provide water bottles and tacos from Pacific Coast up the street for a post-game celebration.
​
Anna picks a date, then tells PTO her plans. She asks that tickets be $10. The PTO sets up a ticket portal and spreads the word to the upper grade families.
​
Anna raised $300 for the PTO and Memorial families got to hang out together!
Chris has a kid in kindergarten. He wants to meet more Memorial families. His buddy is a sommelier.
He decides to organize an intimate wine tasting at his house. He's willing to supply the wines and food pairings. Chris coordinates with his friend to lead the event, picking an evening when they're both free.
​
Chris shares his plans with the PTO. He offers to host up to 10 adults from any grade level. Together, Chris and the PTO team decide to set tickets at $40 each.
​
A week before the event, PTO emails Chris a list of names for the tickets purchased. He heads to the store to pick up wine. Chris raised $400 for PTO and made some wine-loving friends.
