Saint Raymond Fundraising Program
St. Raymond School strives to provide a quality and academic education to all. The school is involved in fundraising activities throughout the year in order to keep tuition costs down and thereby making Catholic education accessible to a greater number of families.
Major fundraising activities for the 2011-2012 school years include:
1) The Annual Auction: is our largest fundraising event of the year. Families are asked to participate in the auction by procuring donations, volunteering and if possible attending this fun and exciting event.
For questions and details, contact the auction committee chairpersons.
2) See’s Candy Fundraiser: Families are asked to participate in this candy drive twice during the year. Sales occur during the fall and spring.
3) Innisbrook Fundraiser: This fundraiser takes place in September. Families are asked to sell gift wrap and other Innisbrook items. School will receive a 50% profit from total items sold. 4) The Scrip Program: is a year-round fundraising program where participants buy merchant gift certificates or gift cards at face value. When the Scrip is spent the merchant gives the school a percentage of the purchase price.
