Spirit of Sunrise Fundraising Campaign
The Spirit of Sunrise (SOS) is the school’s annual fundraising campaign to support Sunrise Drive FFO, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Funds provide grants for all student field trips, Science Day, Artists-in-Residence, community garden, 5th Grade Legacy Project, Lego robotics kits, Raz Kids, Reflex Math, playground equipment, Spiders and Cider, grant requests, library books, and much more. The entire FFO budget comes from direct donations and we need your help!
Donate to SOS by clicking the buttons below or dropping a check payable to “Sunrise Drive FFO” in the FFO lock box in the Sunrise Office. The suggested donation is $50 per student, but any amount is appreciated. All donations are tax deductible. Individuals who donate $250 or more receive a letter for tax reporting.

Tax Credits
Every Arizona taxpayer has the opportunity to give
two hundred dollars ($200 individual/$400 joint) to CFSD instead of paying it in taxes. This is not just a
deduction; it is a dollar-for-dollar
tax credit so the amount reduces what you owe in state taxes. For details see the
Tax Credits page.
Mathathon!
Mathathon is a huge fund-raising and education event where students have raised over $20,000 dollars. Check out the dedicated
Mathathon page for more information!

Box Tops for Education!
Do you remember cutting boxtops out? Well, things have changed. We are staying with the times and we need your help and support!
Follow these simple steps for Sunrise Box Tops:
Step 1) Download app
Step 2) Setup Profile
Step 3) Add Sunrise Drive Elementary in Tucson as your school to donate to.
Step 4) Shop & scan your receipts! Any eligible products will accumulate box top cash for Sunrise and you can see the results!
Note: Any physical box tops that you find on a box can still be clipped and sent to school, but most products no longer are printing the Box Top icon since the program has moved to the app system.
