Fundraising makes up a large portion of Discovery Preschool's yearly budget. We use the funds collected for art and craft supplies, to purchase educational toys and games, and make repairs around the school.
Please email fundraising@discoverypreschoolyyc.com if you have any questions.
Without a doubt, the biggest fundraiser for our preschool is the Annual Year-End Art Show. This event showcases a selection of art pieces made by each student throughout the year that is 'up for auction'.
Following are businesses who have generously contributed to our raffle portion of this event in the past to make it a success!

This fall, Discovery Preschool is partnering with Eagle Creek Farms to sell vegetable bundles. Eagle Creek Farms is located in Red Deer County and run by the Mills Family who are farming the land without any synthetic inputs and producing Alberta grown certified organic vegetables. Additionally, Eagle Creek Farms has joined with Food Banks Alberta, which means participants can also have a chance to support local food banks. Customers have the option of purchasing an extra bundle, or donating their vegetable bundle to a food bank. This is a great, local initiative to support, and best of all 30% of the total sales go back to Discovery Preschool.
Every Easter, Discovery Preschool teams up with Purdys Chocolates to sell and raise funds for the school! This has always been a well loved fundraiser for our school, with families being able to purchase a simple box of chocolates to full Easter baskets if they choose! The options are endless and they arrive just in time for the Easter Bunny to make their deliveries.
