RE FUNDRAISER 

 

Welcome to a new year of Religious Education! Thank you for registering! The RE program has a mandatory raffle each year to help offset the cost of running the program. Each family is responsible for selling $50 in raffle tickets. Tickets are $10 each. The $50 will be automatically added to your family bill.

 

We have kept this simple:

 

  • You can put your name on all 5 raffle tickets, pay your tuition, turn everything in and you now have 5 chances to win 1 of 3 $500 prizes!

  • You are welcome to sell them to someone else for $10 each, making your $50 back. Please turn in the stubs with your tuition paperwork.

 

Once your registration is complete, I will mail you the raffle tickets. We will draw the winners sometime in October. Thank you for supporting our children in the RE program!
