Manna Cards Fundraiser: Want a fundraiser that makes money for the PTA but doesn't cost you anything extra? That's exactly what Manna Gift Cards are. Businesses sell their gift cards-you pay only face value of the card. The PTA earns a percent of the value of the sale as a reward for selling the card. You get gift cards, and we all benefit from the PTA programs at May Watts. Gift cards will be delivered December 14th, in time for holiday gift giving. You can purchase from a variety of businesses such as Target, Walmart, Jewel, Starbucks, etc.. For more information go to the PTA website under Manna Gift Cards.
