Current fundraisers that the HSA is holding in the 2010/2011 school year are:
- Annual Dinner Dance- The 2011 Dinner Dance date is Friday February 18th at the Hilton Garden Inn Southpointe. This is an annual event and the planning starts months in advance. The event is fueled by donations in any form, money, baskets, etc. Volunteers are needed for everything from collecting items for Chinese Auction Baskets to selling “keys” to one of the treasure chests the night of the event. The weekend of the event, volunteers are needed Friday for setup and Sunday for cleanup. If you have any questions about this event, please contact co-chair, Jill Ingold at 724-544-4695.
- SCRIP- This important program runs all year. Families buy gift certificates to merchants. There are different percentages given for the cards. 50% of the credit goes to the school, the other 50% toward tuition credit. Orders can be placed online. Contact Amy Kumpf with any questions about the Scrip program.
- Ladies Tea- This event is Sunday November 14th at the Holiday Inn Meadows. This event is geared towards the ladies and includes a light lunch, chinese auction, a "best hat contest" and a special twist this year! Come see what all the fuss is about! Volunteers are needed. If you have any questions about this event, please contact committee member Jill Spear 724-514-7472.
- Sarris Candy Sale- This is held twice a year, at Christmas and Easter, with the sale of individual chocolate bars year round. Each family is responsible for taking his own candy orders.
- SAMS Hoagie Sale- This fundraiser is held in the fall and spring and each student collects orders for Hoagies which are delivered to the school and made ready for pickup by the parents.
- Family Fun/Restaurant Nights- Families are asked to attend dinners/events at local merchants. These merchants then offer the school a cut of the proceeds.
- Comedy Night - This event is being planned for 2011.
- Kids Resale event and vendor show- This occurs in both the spring and fall. The kids resale portion is maintained in the school cafeteria while the vendor portion is held in the school hallway. The kitchen is open for breakfast and lunch. This is a great fundraiser because both the families and the school share the profits. Everyone wins! The next event will be in the spring 2011. Lucy Binotto (724-745-4637) is managing the re-sale portion while Tracie Liberatore (724-514-7153) is managing the vendor portion.
- Campbells’ Soup Labels, Box Tops, Capri Sun Coolers- Collecting these items and turning them in at the school is another good way of earning dollars for our school.
- Garbage Bags- The school sells white kitchen bags for $10.00 per roll and yellow lawn and garden bags for $10.00 per roll. The bags can be purchased through the office.
- Target Stores- If you have a Target charge, you can elect that the school gets a percentage of your purchases. Checks are then sent directly to the school from Target.
- Market Day- Market Day sells a variety of food and specialty items. You can order online at www.marketday.com. Be sure to select St. Patrick Canonsburg as the school. Each child is given an order form on a monthly basis.
- Spirit Wear - During the Fall of 2010, St. Patrick School will be selling Spirit Wear. There will be a option to have the products embroidered. The vendor being utilized is N'Sew located in Bethel Park. Click on the attached link to see a full Color Catalog of items (coming soon). These are great everyday wear as well as Christmas gifts!
