Every spring, the College Park Nursery School community holds its biggest fundraiser - The Trash-A-Thon.

What is the Trash-A-Thon?

In honor of Earth Day, CPNS families clean up trash in our community while raising much needed funds for our school. We’ll be working together to pick up trash in various areas of College Park from 9:00AM - 10:30AM.

When the clean up is done, we’ll celebrate with a Trash-A-Thon Bash at the school from to “throw down after we pick up (trash)”.

But why are we doing a Trash-A-Thon?

It’s a school fundraiser. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit school and this is our biggest fundraiser of the year. Trash-A-Thon donations go to the Greatest Needs Fund, primarily supporting our financial assistance program while providing flexibility to address other critical needs.
It’s a service project. In honor of Earth Month, our students, families and team members serve and beautify the Earth and our local community by cleaning up litter in our neighborhood in downtown College Park.
It’s a community event. We welcome our College Park Nursery School students, alumni, families, friends and neighbors to join us in picking up litter and celebrating Earth Month with us at the Trash-A-Thon Bash!

We are so excited to give back to the Earth and the College Park community! Will YOU support us in our efforts and help us meet our fundraising goal of $6000?
