2025 ANNUAL SPRING gala

Get ready for March 14!

PS 185's Gala is the school's largest fundraiser. This year, it is scheduled to take place at the Dyker Golf Course on Friday, March 14th. As we begin planning for this event, we would like to ask the P.S. 185 Community to consider making a $20 donation that will help us start the purchasing gifts for this event. In order for us to make this event amazing, we need your help. We are suggesting $20 – but anything is appreciated (more or less)!

We also have an Amazon Wishlist of items you can choose from. Items can be donated by an individual or a family, a group of families, or a class. Raffle items are extremely important for our fundraiser. The more raffle tickets we sell, the more money we raise for our school! ANY and ALL gift donations are appreciated!

JOURNAL SPONSORSHIPS

Proceeds to benefit the Parent Teacher Association. The purpose of this event is to enhance the educational programs at PS 185. As you know, the NYC Public Schools have had their budgets drastically cut and without the PTA having sufficient funds to supplement these cuts, our children will not have the supplies and programs they deserve. Thank you for your support and generosity. In addition to our paperback journal, all ads will be DIGITAL and advertised on our website. See our sponsors from 2024.

Please send all artwork to: 185fundraiser@gmail.com

Deadline for artwork Monday, February 10th, 2025.
