Westlake High School in Saratoga Springs, are proud to present their 2019 Christmas Jars Fundraiser (run by FCCLA & Student Council).

This is an incredible fundraiser that helps many families around the holidays. Last year, Westlake was able to raise $46,000. Many families in the community were overwhelmed and grateful when they received a Jar of money and a copy of the book Christmas Jars written by Jason F. Wright.

This year Westlake set a goal for $50,000. Some fun events you’re going to want to put in your calendar are: CJPJ Dance (Christmas Jar Pajama Jam) on December 7th, 2019, from 8:00pm-11:00pm (open to all schools) $10 per ticket. Stuff the Jar Night (indoor carnival for the community with games, food, drawings with incredible prizes and much more!) December 11th, 5:30-8:30 pm.

This fundraiser is really an amazing tradition at Westlake, and they absolutely love being able to help spread a little Christmas cheer.
