CKM has a multi-pronged fundraising effort to support school programs and student activities. Families, friends, staff, teachers, students, and alumni can donate to CKM in a wide variety of ways.

To obtain a card, contact CKM staff or parents affiliated with one of the groups below. When registering your card, choose the CKM activities you wish to benefit from your purchases, including:

eScrip featuring Safeway, Macy’s, and more

eScrip is an electronic scrip program featuring national and regional retailers that rebate a percentage of your purchases (both in-store and online shopping) back to CKM. Register your store, credit, and debit cards; then choose the CKM activities you wish to benefit from your purchases, including:

• McClatchy High School PTSA
• McClatchy High School
• McClatchy Music Boosters

Target’s Take Charge of Education

The Take Charge of Education program rebates a percentage of your purchases to CKM whenever you use your Target Guest or Visa Card. Proceeds go directly to the school to be used by CKM’s leadership team to fund school-wide projects and programs.

Nugget Markets

Nugget Markets also use electronic swipe cards to benefit schools. Obtain your card from a CKM PTSA representative. Proceeds benefit the CKM Parent Student Teacher Association.

Other scrip programs from area grocers

Other grocers may also use electronic swipe cards to benefit schools. Check with your favorite grocery store to find out if and how it supports CKM.

PTSA Membership Drive

The PTSA runs a membership campaign where CKM families, staff, teachers, and students join to support school-wide projects and programs. Information is sent home via students and through the PTSA’s e-mail list.

HISP Direct Donation

CKM’s Humanities and International Studies Program solicits donations from families to support both HISP and school-wide projects and programs. See Direct Donation information and form.

California State Employees Charitable Campaign (United Way) (CKM Donation Code 94-6192232)

This program allows state workers to have funds deducted monthly from paychecks to benefit local schools and charities. Funds from this program benefit CKM’s PTSA and the programs it supports. Check with the state agency where you are employed to learn more. Many employers match funds workers donate to schools or will donate funds to a school based on the number of hours you volunteer. Several also have foundations that support their workers’ favorite charities. Inquire with your employer.

Land Park Home Tour

The Land Park Home Tour uses proceeds from its annual event to support the visual and performing arts at CKM and other schools in Land Park. Support the tour and help CKM’s art programs thrive. CKM families living in Land Park may volunteer their home for the tour. Parents and students may sign up to be a docent in one of the featured houses. Look for flyers and lawn signs posted throughout the neighborhood and in area businesses for more details and contact information.

Unique fundraisers throughout the year

Fundraisers such as car washes, e-waste collections, the 24-hour track-a-thon, and more occur throughout the year to support specific CKM clubs, sports programs, and activities. Check the Events Calendar for upcoming activities.
