I'm putting together a program that we hope will encourage volunteers in our elementary school. We really want to let everyone know that *any* amount of time they give over the year is important, useful & valuable. We want to try to overcome the common complaint we hear from busy parents (aren't we all!) that they don't have time to help in the school.
So, we've rounded up some prizes (overnight hotel stay, dinner gift certificates, massage, moon jump rental...) & will raffle them off. Over the year, volunteers will earn a raffle ticket for each hour that they help the school in any way - classroom help, baking, attending PTO meetings, planning & staffing events, helping their child with fundraisers, helping the teacher after school, working in the library...
I want to come up with a slogan & name for this whole thing. Something along the lines of 'Every minute matters' or 'You make this a great school'. Anything besides 'Volunteer Appreciation Raffle'. Any ideas?

You are offering very nice, expensive gifts just to get parents to help you.
People actually need gifts to motivate them?
I guess that is the reality. No one can be too busy to help you. They would just rather give their money than their time, which is what you need from them.
But you do need a slogan, regardless, maybe:
- Our school needs the same thing your child needs...your time.
- Too busy to help our kids? We only need a little of your time.
Best of luck to you.

Give a little, or give a lot;
It's not how much, time can't be bought.
Volunteer and win a prize;
Help the school with their supplies.
See how far a little can go;
Watch (the name of your school) grow!

One of my favorite sayings has always been: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Maybe you could work with this saying...
Our 1,000 Mile Journey, The Journey, Our Journey, etc.
put it together with...
Your Single Step, My Single Step, My Journey, etc.
GOOD LUCK!

What about something like "Helping Us Helps You", or something cute like "Give us some time and we'll give you a break"
