Please Register to Walk!
Just 2 weeks away!
Now is the time to register for the Soles for Catholic Education Walk on October 2nd at St. Francis Borgia Catholic School.

Registration is free but we encourage you to donate $25/person. After the 2-mile walk, we will be selling pretzels, beer, baked goods, and cider.

The school will receive a match for donations up to $5,000!
Please help us reach this goal! You can download and share this graphic with your friends and family. Every single dollar goes back to St. Francis Borgia Catholic School to help enrich our extracurricular activities like STEM, robotics, chess club, yearbook, LEGO club, and more!

Anybody can easily text SOLES1238 to 71777 to donate money directly to SFB School for the Soles for Catholic Education Fundraiser.

We also need volunteers to help run the event and bake goodies. Please sign up at sfbschool.ivolunteer.com
We are collecting used shoes for Soles for Jesus. Learn more at sfbschool.org/walk

Bring your old shoes to school through October 15th. Every pair of shoes donated goes to impacting a life in Africa!

On the day of the walk, 100% of the profit from our bake sale will benefit our twinning parish, St. Michael and St. Rose.
