Hamblen Elementary PTG

Did you know? 👀
The PTG provides a FREE Husky Haul t-shirt for every single student 🙌

Yep. Every kid. Every year. No cost to families.

That’s just one example of where Husky Haul dollars go. It’s our ONE big fundraiser of the year, and instead of selling cookie dough or wrapping paper, we’re keeping it simple with direct support that goes right back into the school.

Husky Haul helps fund things like:
• Student shirts (so everyone feels part of it)
• Programs, clubs, and events
• Classroom and teacher support
• School-wide experiences for ALL kids

We need parent volunteers to help make Husky Haul happen, from organizing to day-of support.

💛 Keep an eye out for donation info coming soon

Let’s make this year’s Husky Haul the best one yet 🐕💙

Hamblen PTG is gearing up for our one and only fundraiser of the year… and we’re going big.

We’re currently looking for:
• Local business sponsors
• Silent auction donations
• Community connections (you know people 👀)

Own a business?
Work for someone who loves supporting schools?
Have access to something fun, unique, or bid-worthy?

👉 This is your moment.

Every dollar raised goes directly back to supporting Hamblen students, and your business gets in front of 450+ families in our community.

Important note:
This is separate from the student fundraising happening later. These donations help us hit our overall goal before that even begins.
