Fundraising

Creating opportunities for our kids

The Lord Nelson PAC is committed to organizing fundraisers - and "fun-raisers" - to help support the growth of a strong learning environment. The money raised by the PAC is used to support student learning and to strengthen the school community.
​See below for some of our fundraisers.  And take a look at our sponsor page to see the tremendous support we have received from our local community business leaders and personal donors.
