This is the time of year that the St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School is buzzing as we excitedly prepare for the Annual Auction.  Unfortunately, the excitement this year isn’t gathered around the epicenter as creative parents bring down their auction baskets and we all “ooh and awe” over the cuteness and creativity.  Due to the unforeseen public health crisis, social distancing guidelines and our lack of donated items from businesses, we are unable to host a live or online silent auction. 

This year we are focusing upon our donors within our community that have generously stepped up and pooled together a Matching Fund of $40,000. The $40,000 Matching Fund is an opportunity for every amount donated to be matched dollar for dollar.

If we meet this challenge before us and raise $40,000 or more, the $40,000 match will double our efforts and we will raise at least $80,000 or more which is what (on average) our Annual Auction generates.

Why is this important? The St. Francis of Assisi Parent Teacher Club (PTC) who organizes all the school fundraisers throughout the school year has committed to assisting the school in their yearly operating funds. Every year we excitedly donate to the school $75,000, which could not be made without the continued support of our parents and community in their generosity.
