Fundraisers

St. Vincent holds several fundraisers a year:

GREENBACKS:Our largest fundraiser, is to support the educational programs at our school. Proceeds help purchase computer hardware, software, textbooks, classroom supplies and equipment, etc. In the past, the Greenback funds purchased all the new desks and chairs for the classrooms and other school and classroom upgrades.

Each school family is asked to buy or sell 15 Greenback Raffle tickets and each parishioner is asked to buy or sell 3 tickets. By selling this many tickets, we are able to award $25,000 in cash prizes and make $25,000 in profit for the school. Parents are also asked to support the Greenback Dinner and Silent Auction by attending, working or both. This is a great way to get to know other SVS families and help our school. Help is always needed in the following areas: Ticket distribution, Corporate Ticket Sales, Silent Auction, Dinner Set Up-Clean-Up, Publicity, and Decorating.

Advancement: The advancement office oversees all school and class fundraisers throughout the year. School fundraisers include Greenbacks, Giving Tuesday, One Mission One Day, Sarris Candy Sales, etc.

PTA Fundraisers: The Parent Teacher Association sponsors several fundraisers each year including a Steak Fry, Book Fair and Santa’s Work Shop. All proceeds from the PTa fundraisers go to instructional and extra curricular cost of the school. For example the PTA may buy a new television for a class room or new uniforms for a team. The PTA’s contribution to our school is vital.

8th Grade Fundraiser: One of the joys of being an 8th grader is finally getting to go on a class trip! All year long the 8th graders will hold small fundraisers for their 8th grade graduation trip.
