It is certainly worth discussing with your group. Such a worthy cause would likely get widespread support, but don't just assume that. You could have parents object if they believe the money isn't going to help your specific school/school community. So, put it out there to keep people informed and get feedback. Based on that, make your choice. If you go over a certain amount that is designated as discretionary in your bylaws, you may need to vote on it anyway.
Best of luck and happy holidays!
