2023 St. Croix Catholic School

Marathon Fundraiser

 

 

What is the St. Croix Catholic School Marathon Fundraiser?

  • The Marathon is the most important school fundraising event of the year, running September 24, 2023 - October 31, 2023
  • All donations go directly to the school’s operating budget to support various, essential programs
  • A community-building event that helps raise awareness of Catholic education
  • This year, students and families are again being asked to participate in family walks of any distance in an effort to shine our light throughout the St. Croix Valley. We have been given so much, let us share the joy of the Gospel!

 

Fundraising Goals

  • $250: Minimum fundraising goal for each student.

 

  • $750: Minimum fundraising goal for families of 3 or more children attending SCCS

 

  • $70,000: SCCS-wide goal

 

Fundraising Efforts

  • All students are encouraged to reach out to relatives (Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, etc.); friends; neighbors; etc.
  • Make phone calls, write letters, send videos, etc. sharing with others the light and joy of being an SCCS student.
  • Matching Funds Programs are offered for educational institutions by many companies. Please check with your employer about any matching fund programs they may offer.

 

Walkathon

During the Marathon, we encourage all students and their families to walk any distance together in their spirit wear to shine a light throughout the St. Croix Valley. Think about ways to share the joy of the Gospel.  For example, rake a yard at the conclusion of your walk, hand out holy cards or medals on your walk, or say “God bless you” to the people to pass by on the sidewalk.
