SKD Fundraising Efforts

Parishes rely on various fundraisers to help balance their annual budget. St Katharine Drexel does not run an annual parish festival like many parishes. Rather, we rely on EASY, smaller fundraising efforts that can be done as part of your everyday life!

Kwik Trip Scrip:

A bonus with the scrip program is the Kwik Trip extra rebate program. If you do your in-store purchases at Kwik Trip using a scrip card purchased through us, we get a bonus rebate of 10% of your purchases. This is paid to us quarterly, but there must be a minimum of $10 in rebates before anything is paid for the quarter. Last quarter we received $17.71 for your scrip purchases at Kwik Trip.

Capital Campaign Update
