St. Joseph School
Fall Fundraising Kick-Off
September 18, 2017
Learn how easy it is to support St. Joseph School!
Greetings!

Today, each St. Joseph School family received their Fall Fundraising Packet. The packet contains a 2017-2018 Commitment Form, an explanation of our Annual Giving and Fair Share Programs, as well as 25 Gift Card Calendars. 

Per the 2017-2018 Tuition Agreement, parents are required to pay an opt-out fee or participate in “selling fundraisers.” The opt-out fee is considered your annual gift. However, you may choose to give more than the designated minimum amount which is $250 for the 2017-2018 school year.  If you choose to make a tax-deductible, monetary donation to The Fund for St. Joseph School to fulfill your fundraising obligation, please select the giving level you feel most comfortable with and return your commitment form to the school. You may make a single payment, pay in two installments (now & March 2018), or schedule monthly payments. Checks should be made payable to St. Joseph School. You may also pay by credit card and schedule monthly payments at donate.sjs-webster.com
Meet Your Fundraising Requirement by Selling ONLY 25 Gift Card Calendars
If you’re unable to give a monetary gift, you may participate in The Fair Share Program also known as “selling fundraisers.” Fair Share Program participants need to accumulate 250 in Fair Share Dollars, which are assigned based on the profit generated by the individual fundraisers. 

To simplify our Fall Fundraiser, we’ve created the Gift Card Calendar! The calendar contains two months of incredible gift cards. When friends and families purchase a calendar (October AND November) for just $10, they will have an opportunity to win a prize—sometimes two– everyday for two months! 

IMPORTANT POINTS TO REMEMBER
  • Even if someone has their name drawn on October 1st, their name gets put back into the pool for more opportunities.
  • You get credited $10 in Fair Share Dollars for each calendar you sell! That’s why you’re receiving 25 calendars. Sell all 25 and your 2017-2018 fundraising obligation will be fulfilled. 
  • Remember, because all of the gift cards were donated, every dollar goes directly to the St. Joseph School. So, if you can sell more than 25, DON’T STOP! The student who sells the most gift cards will receive $100. And, the second highest seller will receive $50. 
  • If you choose to make a monetary gift to The Fund for St. Joseph School, you may STILL sell Gift Card Calendars.
  • While selling the calendars, please be sure that the bottom portion of the October side of the calendar is filled out clearly and completely. Winners will be notified by phone. Please cut the bottom on the dotted line and return it to the school along with payment. Checks should be made payable to St. Joseph School H.S.A. Drawings will be posted on Facebook (@stjosephwebster) and on our website (www.sjs-webster.com).
  • Sales will take place from September 18th through September 29th. Drawings begin on October 1st.
