Current fundraisers that the HSA is holding in the 2009/2010 school year are:
- Annual Dinner Dance- Save the date for Saturday April 17, 2010 at Southpointe Golf Club! 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.
- 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.
- 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
- 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!
For 2010, the spring kids resale event and vendor show will take place on May 8th. These events were originally scheduled for February 19th but were rescheduled due to bad weather. The following vendors are already confirmed to attend Tastefully Simple, Avon, Scholastic Books, Pampered Chef, Silpada, Just Because Jewelry, Discover Organizing Inc., Stratagem Jewelry, Hand Stitched Creations and Cookie Lee Jewelry.
Lucy Binotto (724-745-4637) is managing the re-sale portion while Tracie Liberatore (724-514-7153) is managing the vendor portion.
Come shop for summer items and Mother's Day gifts!!! - 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.
