Maple PTA

How can you help?

Maple PTA wanted to help their community during the COVID-19 crisis. They were looking for PTA fundraiser ideas. ​ ​They created a special committee in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Maple PTA worked with community members to create PPE face shields for their local first-responders and other medical front-line personnel. They set up an easy to follow system using google docs to get everyone involved.

What is a PTA mastermind?

Napolean Hill, the author of “Think and Grow Rich” made the term “mastermind” very popular. To improve your professional and personal talents, mastermind groups combine creativity, education, peer responsibility, and support. You and the other members of your mastermind group can succeed together with the aid of the group. Members push one another to create challenging but, more importantly, successful goals.

How did they do this?

They used seed donations and self-funded the PPE production costs during the pandemic, sending it to healthcare professions who required it. They did, however, make a public need for assistance in order to match the crisis’s enormous need. The Greater Cleveland area PPE was funded and made possible by all donations and assistance toward the goal amount.
