Parent-hosted parties are a
fun way to support our school. Parent-hosts donate parties and Raise the
Sails guests sign up to attend the parties by buying tickets. All
proceeds from the ticket sales go directly to the school through Friends
of Amundsen. It's a great way to support our school while having a fantastic time getting to know our community.
Here's how it works:
1. Determine the type of party you would like to host, and choose
who is eligible to attend. Past parties have included everything from themed dinners
hosted in parents' homes to comedy nights at a local theater. Parties
can be for parents, moms-only, dads-only, teenagers or parent/teenagers. Depending on the size of your proposed party, it might be best to partner with other Amundsen friends/families as co-hosts. Co-hosts share the cost of hosting the party, help with party planning, create a buzz about the party beforehand and promote your party at Raise the Sails.
2. Select a location and date for the party. Parties can be hosted at any
location that suits your theme - your home, backyard or deck, a restaurant, a spa, etc. They can be scheduled anytime from the week after Raise the
Sails until November 2024.
3. Submit your prospective party below. Once you've decided on your party theme, the Raise the Sails party committee will work with you to coordinate a party date to avoid overlap with other parties. The committee will also help you coordinate details like the size of your party and the price per attendee.
If you are interested in hosting a party but need ideas for a theme, co-hosts, or location, please email us (friendsofamundsen@gmail.com) with any questions. We will be happy to help you work out the details!
