All schools inevitably need to fundraise in order to succeed, and fundraising would be impossible without the parents and students of the Academy of St. Adalbert. But we also know that you secretly bought that box of candy bars instead of sending your child out on the streets to sell them. You'd rather not be selling things to raise funds, right?
The Academy of St. Adalbert has been resourceful in seeking ways to raise money without selling. The programs and activities listed below take little time and effort but greatly benefit the school. Please explore and participate in these methods of fundraising, and help keep fundraising free of selling.
Note: If you find a school benefits program that we're not participating in, please let the office know by calling (440) 234-5529.
