Fundraising

The Board of Directors and SISPAC annually undertake fundraising projects in support of the parish funding of the school.

Board of Directors

Each year, the Board of Directors facilitates two fundraising campaigns on behalf of the school community. These two fundraising campaigns assist in covering the parish deficit related to the costs of operating the school. The anticipated revenue from these campaigns is put into the school budget.

Coffee Fundraiser - annually, in September  Board member (Development Portfolio)

This year, we will be selling fair trade coffee.  Each family is required to sell a minimum of one case (12 x 150g bags of coffee @ $5.00 per bag) or to make a contribution of $35.00 in lieu of the profit.

Golf Fundraiser - annually, in June  Board member (Development Portfolio) and committee

This is a fun-filled community golf tournament that affords many opportunities for school parents and the parish community to offer their support.  School parents, the parish community, family and friends are invited to golf and/or attend the dinner portion of the event.  You can contribute by donating prizes or with sponsorships of $25 and up.  This community event continues to grow yearly; please invite your family and friends to join us or sponsor this event.

SISPAC

SISPAC is committed to building community, and one of the ways we do this is by involving as many parents as possible in our community fundraising events. The funds that are raised help fund transportation costs for field trips, hospitality at community events, and other items, as needed.

Dinner in the Hall - a Saturday evening, between February and April   Coordinator and committee, with parent volunteers

This is one of the primary fundraisers for our school community.  All school parents and guardians, as well as all parishioners are welcome to attend. The committee sets the menu, decorates, and organizes the silent auction, the time and talent auction, and the post-event clean-up.

Parents donate the appetizers and the desserts, and the meal is catered. Student volunteers from grades 6, 7, & 8 serve the food. Typically, the Knights of Columbus staff the bar.  This is an "adults only" event.

Hot Dog Days - Monthly, in the late morning   Coordinator, with parent volunteers

Jobs include: processing orders (1x in September), cooking and distributing hot dogs each month to students.

Special Lunch - 4x per year   Coordinator, with parent volunteers

Orders need to be processed (4x/year) and volunteers are needed for distribution of food.

Bake Sales - 4x per year   Coordinator, with parent volunteers

Parent volunteers are needed to bake nut-free items. Volunteers make reminder calls to parent bakers the week of the sale and/or sell the baked goods over a lunch hour.

Plant Sale - annually, in May   Coordinator and committee

Processing of the orders occurs in April. Plants arrive the day before the school BBQ.  At that time, the committee confirms the orders and sorts them for pick-up, which takes place the next day during the school BBQ.

School Logo Clothing - 2x per year   Coordinator and committee

The coordinator organizes the ordering of golf shirts, sweatshirts and hats.  The committee takes and places orders, sorts, and distributes.
