A LETTER FROM YOU FESTIVAL CHAIRS
|
|
Hello Cardinal Families!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all of your effort given to this year’s Halloween Festival. It was an amazing stay at Hotel St. Rosylvania this year. While the goal was to raise money to meet the needs of the school’s operating expenses, the biggest impact is always made by the community who stepped up to make it happen. To those of you who help every year and to those who are new this year: Thank You! Our St. Rose Community once again showed its loving and giving heart.
Our Halloween Committee, which consists of so many committed volunteers helped transform our school into the monstrous resort we all enjoyed last week. A special thanks goes to the following families, who truly went above and beyond:
|
|
This year was a record setting year for raffle ticket sales and sponsors – yes, again! These two factors combined made the festival a financial success! Participation in the raffle ticket sales (over $65,225) represents contributions of 83% of families, which is an all time high rate of participation! Go Cardinals!
Thank you to our community sponsors for contributing over $16,000. To support and sponsor this festival is to know how much this festival means to St Rose. Since our appreciation is boundless, please join us in recognizing our sponsors once more:
|
|
While we’re still tallying up our final numbers after expenses, we know now that we grossed $128,000 for St. Rose of Lima! All of this goes back to our students.
We sincerely hope you enjoyed the festival and will continue to be involved in many more years to come. Got ideas? We love your feedback! Stop by the front office, chat with St. Rose staff, call or email any of us!
We are forever grateful for all the Cardinals and Cardinal supporters who made it happen!!
Your Festival Co-chairs,
Jessica Lucas and Catie Donohue
