Fundraisers

Fall Fundraiser - Chocolate and Gift Wrap

If it’s September, it’s chocolate sales time at Our Lady of Mount Carmel School! This is a required participation fundraiser. Parents can choose to have their children sell chocolate and/or from a gift catalog or they can opt out of participating for a specified donation amount.

Annual Benefit Auction

Each year we host an annual benefit auction to raise vital funds that our operating budget relies upon. Parents are required to work at least 2 hours for this event as part of their volunteer commitment to the school.

Run completely by parent volunteers, the Auction and our Spring Festival, are our two biggest fundraising events of the year. This year’s auction, The Masaquerade, will take place on Saturday, October 24 and is chaired, once again, by Mrs. Adrienne Herro, Mrs. Kathleen Sochan and Mrs. Catherine McCarthy.

Scrip

As part of your tuition agreement, parents can choose to participate in this program or opt out for a specified flat amount. When you choose to participate, you are committed to generate a net profit of $230.00 each school year to the school through your Scrip purchases.

We make it so easy to meet your commitment. We have our very own Gift Card Mall. Shop with scrip, sign up with eScrip and your children all directly benefit

Annual Spring Festival - Wild West Days

Open to all, this traditional event goes back 30 years or more and consists of 3 days of great food, games and carnival rides. Parents are required to work 9 hours for this event as part of their volunteer commitment to the school.

Ink Cartridge and Cell Phone Recycling

Your used and empty ink jet, laser jet and other printer cartridges, as well as old cell phones, can be dropped off at the school. We recycle them through an organized program that earns an average of $300 or more each year for our school.

Restaurant Fundraisers

Throughout the year we may hold restaurant fundraisers. These fundraisers are in co-operation with local restaurants and a portion of your dining expense is donated back to our school. Watch the school calendar for possible dates and locations.
