INSPIRE PSO (Parent Support Organization)

Empowering Performers Through Community

Support and Fundraising

The PSO is a part of INSPIRE’s non-profit group and coordinates

a majority of the fundraisers for the season.

INSPIRE PSO Overview


The INSPIRE Parent Support Organization (PSO) is part of our non-profit group, managing most of the season's fundraisers. Participation in these fundraisers is entirely voluntary, allowing you to select the ones that best suit your needs. Funds raised can be credited directly to your performer's account and used for various fees throughout the year.


Fundraising Opportunities:


Individual Fundraisers:

Your dancer can sell items, such as fruit or discount cards, with a portion of the earnings going into their personal PSO account. The percentage earned varies with each fundraiser and will be detailed at the time.


General PSO Fundraisers:

A few fundraisers contribute directly to the General PSO Fund, benefiting all performers and supporting events requiring upfront costs. Examples include flower sales at Nutcracker/recital performances and restaurant nights. Parent volunteers are always welcome for these events.

In the past, the General Fund has covered expenses like Suns entry tickets, new equipment, studio flooring, Nutcracker shirts, and team wear.

Fry’s Community Rewards:

This program allows each dancer to earn funds by having friends and family enroll in Fry’s Community Rewards at no cost to them. Funds are earned as they shop at Fry’s. Further enrollment details will be provided soon.


Account Management:


After fundraisers, credits are applied to your performer's PSO account. The front desk keeps your account balance updated, and you must inform them how to allocate funds. Funds cannot be used for monthly tuition, rec fees, rec costumes, or boutique items. Any unused funds upon leaving the studio will be transferred to the general scholarship fund and will not be paid in cash or check.


Usage of Funds:


Funds can be used for competition fees, company costume fees, master classes, summer camps, and more. All funds are tracked, so feel free to contact the front desk or email us to check your PSO account balance anytime.

Monthly Fundraisers Overview

  • Year Round Fry's Community Fundraiser

    Fry’s Community Rewards

    The Kroger Family of Companies is dedicated to community engagement, positive social impact, and charitable giving both nationally and locally. We aim to partner with the communities we serve to help residents lead healthier lives.


    Fry’s Community Rewards Program:

    This program simplifies fundraising by donating to local organizations based on your everyday shopping at Fry’s. Here's how to get involved:


    Create a Digital Account:

    • To participate, you'll need a digital account. If you already have one, link your Shopper’s Card to your account to ensure your purchases benefit your chosen organization.

    Link Your Card to an Organization:

    • Sign in to your digital account.
    • Search for the organization you want to support.
    • Enter the organization's name or NPO number.
    • Select the organization from the list and click “Save.”

    Your chosen organization will appear in the Fry’s Community Rewards section of your account. You can review or change your selection in your Account details at any time.


    Your Organization Earns:

    Future purchases made with your linked Shopper’s Card will contribute to the program. Fry’s makes annual donations to participating organizations based on your spending percentage relative to the total spending of all participants.


    You Earn:

    When prompted via email, log into your account, take a screenshot of your earnings, and report them to PSO. The funds accumulated by you, your family, and friends will be added to your PSO account.
