Fundraisers

Fund-raising Events at Saint Albert

Annual drives, special events and the "Building for the 21st Century" capital campaign are all critical fund-raising programs at Saint Albert Catholic Schools. All need your financial support to help us bridge the gap between the actual cost of educating each child and what we charge for tuition. Please consider the following programs as you plan your charitable contributions this year.

Gifts to the Annual Support Program go directly to the operating fund, utilities and upkeep of our facilities. This year, we are focusing on "bridging the gap" between the amount of tuition charged and the actual cost of educating a student (about $1,200 per student).

The Century Club provides funding for ten boys and nine girls athletic teams and extracurricular programs in Music, Speech, Drama, Economics, Math, Science, History, Band, Yearbook, Art and Journalism. In addition, the Club supports general academic enrichment programs including Destination Imagination, Academic Decathlon, Math Counts and Great Books. Membership in the Club gets you a FREE seat for your entire family at all Saint Albert home sporting events and fine arts productions, as well as recognition in all activity programs and Century Meal Tickets. The Century Club membership drive kick-off in August, but memberships can be purchased throughout the year.

this year to the Century Club are memberships for athletics, the arts or a combination of both. We also have developed a "Rookie Club" membership for younger Saint Albert alums. For a gift of $25, "Rookies" will receive a single pass for free admission to all regular season home sporting events and fine arts productions. This membership is intended for graduates from the classes of 2001-2007.

Games, cotton candy, balloon animals, face painting and dinner with the Pancake Man are just a few of the attractions at the Elementary Carnival. This annual event is not only a major fund-raiser for the Elementary School, but also a "friend-raiser," drawing the Saint Albert community together in support of our school's youngest students. The next carnival will be held on Feb. 23, 2008.

The Annual Benefit Auction is the school's largest fund-raising event. It includes a dinner and silent and oral auctions. Proceeds from the event are used for the school's general operating budget, allowing Saint Albert to offer high quality programs for our students. The Auction is held in April and more than 700 people attend the event each year. The 2008 Auction will be held on Saturday, April 19. Watch this website for more information.

Each year, Saint Albert sponsors a Large Raffle to help keep the cost of tuition affordable for families throughout southwest Iowa. Past prizes have included the "All-American Dream House" and cash. The prize for the large raffle in 2007 was a brand new Corvette or $50,000 in cash.
