Double your Donation to St. John’s!
 
Did you know that many employers match dollar for dollar the charitable gifts their employees make? Some will double- or even triple-match an employee’s donation, which is a terrific way to maximize your ability to contribute to St. John’s. Your $100 contribution can easily turn into a $200 or even $300 gift for the school, with a match from your company. Check with your HR department to find out if your employer has a matching gift program. If so, please consider giving a gift to St. John’s and multiplying your impact!

If you are willing to volunteer your time to help during the Plant Sale, please return the form below to the school office by sending it in your child’s folder, dropping it in the mail slot, or emailing a copy to t.mannes@stjohnslagrange.org. Many hands make light work, and we have lots of fun.
