Thank you for helping us meet our goal for the 2024-25 school year! Your donations make all the difference for our students.

THANK YOU to our 2024 sponsors!
Thanks to the sponsorship of these local businesses, all costs to run Cougar Craze are covered - that means every dollar you donate goes directly to MCE PTA programs and events.


ALL MCE Students and Staff members get a 2024 Cougar Craze T-shirt!
All of our t-shirts and incentive prizes are generously paid for by our sponsors. Local business and corporate sponsorships cover all our overhead (which we keep low by doing all the work ourselves!) and therefore, ALL donations made by MCE families and supporters goes straight to MCE events and programs.
Does your company offer corporate matching for donations? Many corporations (including local employers like Boeing and Microsoft) will match your donations to non-profit organizations like Mill Creek PTA. Typically, you just need to complete a matching donation request. The necessary forms are often found on the corporate website, or you can ask your HR department. Taking a few minutes to complete these forms is like finding free money to support PTA.
You may need the following information for your matching donation request:
