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

Hosts Create an Event

A parent, or group of parents, create an event by choosing details like:

Theme or activities
Location
Max number of guests
Age range for attendees
Date and time

Hosts cover all costs, allowing 100% of proceeds to go back to Memorial PTO.

PTO Handles Promotion

Once you've planned your Social, email socials@memorialpto.com.

We will help finalize details, then we handle the admin like:

Setting up ticketing
Promoting your event
Providing a list of attendees before the event

You can relax and focus on making your Social an event to remember.

Families Snag Tickets

Tickets are first-come, first serve.

We'll keep track of a 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.

Ideas & Examples

Amanda, whose son is in 4th grade at Memorial, loved playing 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. Amanda 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.

Amanda 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.

Amanda 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. Vino veritas.
