We are incredibly thankful for the St. Alphonsus community who helped raise a total of $165K on behalf of Parent’s Club fundraising events in the last 2023-24 fiscal school year. Because of your generous giving, the Parent’s Club was able to meet a 100K commitment to the school that was set out at the beginning of the school year. We would not have been able to meet this goal had it not been for our 2 biggest fundraisers, the Auction and Jogathon, where both brought in 61K and 33K, respectively. But we also cannot forget the significance of the smaller fundraisers, such as Bingo, Trunk-or-Treat, MOD Pizza nights, and Brown Bear car wash tickets, to name a few. These important fundraisers helped us cross the 100K finish line all while keeping with the St. Al spirit of community. In addition, 56.8K was also raised for the Fund-a-Dream project for new security doors and medical AED devices, vital for the safety and well-being of our St. Al staff and children. Lastly, the community showed how much they cared about our teachers by raising 2.3K during teacher appreciation week, where every penny went back to them in the form of catered meals and gift cards through our Scrip program. In sum, $161.5K out of the $165K raised went back to the school, with 3.5K remaining for Parent’s Club startup costs for FY 2024-25.
We are confident that we can aim higher in this new school year with a 5% increase in our school commitment from 100K to 105K, as we continue to seek the kind and generous monetary and volunteer support of our amazing community. We cannot thank the community enough for helping to benefit our students and the school, both in the past year and in the days to come!
