Overview:
You will shop on the BYO Recreation site to assemble an order, but you will not place your order with them. Rather, you will assemble the order and then email it to ClassWish for us to place.  Please follow these easy directions.
1.   Check Your ClassWish Account Balance and Get Your ClassWish ID#
  • Log into http://ClassWish.org.  Click “My Account” in the upper right corner of any page other than the home page.  The third tab, “Donations Received and Requests Placed,” shows your balance.
  • If you want more supplies than your balance allows, you can make a tax-deductible contribution to your own wish list before or right after you shop.
  • Please make note of your ClassWish account number, which appears within the URL of your wish list page.
2.   Shopping for the Playgrounds You Need
  • When you have donation funds to use (or are about to add your own funds), go to http://www.byoplayground.com/  (To see other vendors for other categories, please go to the home page of this ClassWish vendors site). 
  • Shop like you normally would; simply add items to your cart on that website.
  • Ignore the shipping estimate.
  • Click "Buy Now" to proceed to checkout.
3.   Follow the Process Below.
  • Shipping Address: You must provide the school address.  We cannot ship to your home.  
  • Email: Please enter the same email address as you used to register with ClassWish.org.
  • Phone:  Provide the school phone # in case of delivery problems.
  • Check the "Billing Address is the same as Shipping Address" box for simplicity. You will not be purchasing the items. 
Now, submit your request to BYO Recreation and your form to ClassWish so we can purchase these items for you.
You must do two things to submit your request.

A.    Complete the submission process at BYO Recreation:
  • Verify the items in the shopping cart and the shipping address of your school.
  • In the Select Payment section, choose the "Check" option as seen circled in green in the image to the right.
  • In the "Name" line please enter your name and ClassWish ID. Your ID# appears within the URL of your Wish List page if you do not know it.
  • In the "Check Number" line please just enter "Please submit to ClassWish".
  • Click "Checkout" to proceed and submit your shopping request.
B.     Please complete and submit this form to ClassWish.

    If the total amount of your Request exceeds the amount in your ClassWish account, you can visit your ClassWish page and make a tax-deductible donation to cover the shortfall. See if your spouse's employer will match that donation.
4.  What Happens Next 
  • BYO Recreation will contact us with your request.
  • We will check to make sure you have enough funds in your ClassWish account.  
  • If so, we will deduct the order amount from your ClassWish account.
  • We will pay BYO Recreation for the request you have submitted.
  • We will send you a confirmation.
  • BYO Recreation will ship the materials to you at your school.  
  • You and your students will get the resources you need.
  • You will tell other teachers so they can get support, too.  In fact, why not do that, right now?
How to attract more donations:

People want to help kids.  All you have to do is let them know your wish list exists.  Use the social media buttons on your page to share via Facebook and Twitter; link to it from your blog; email it to friends; and see the link on your wish list page to more tips.

Please see ClassWish-Books.org where all book purchases earn a 10% discount and a 7.5% donation to provide resources for the shopper’s selected school or teacher. Please share this with parents and others you know. They will be delighted to save money and to help you get more resources. To help spread the word, please:


Please spread the word so we can help more kids

Finally, please help us help more teachers and children by spreading the word of ClassWish.org.  Tell:

  •        Teachers, parents and the PTA at your school
  •        Teachers in your union 
  •        Teachers in your district
  •        Teachers you went to college with
  •        Teachers you know or connect with on social media.  

Now is the perfect time to do it!

Thank you very much for this opportunity to help you and your students!

Best wishes,

The ClassWish team
