Overview of Fundraising Programs

Admin — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 19:28:18 -0500

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.

		St. Adalbert Parish Bingo Enjoy an evening playing Bingo and Instant Bingo in Fr. Keller Center at St. Adalbert Parish! Bingo is played on Wednesdays at 5:30 PM and Sundays at 6:30 PM. You can also help with Bingo by volunteering regularly or by donating a few hours. Jobs as concession workers, callers, floor workers, cashiers, or instant bingo sellers are available. Call Martie at (440) 234-7496 and leave your name and number to volunteer.

		Cartridges for Kids Earn funds for the Academy of St. Adalbert by recycling your empty inkjet, laser, fax, and copier cartridges and your old cell phones. Just send them in with your child in a plastic bag, or deposit the empty cartridges and old cell phones in the specially marked container in the connecting lobby between the church and the academy.
		Campbell's Labels for Education For over 30 years, Campbell's Labels for Education™ program has given schools free educational equipment in exchange for labels from eligible Campbell's products. At the Academy of St. Adalbert, we collect Campbell's labels which are used for supplies for the classrooms and playground. It is as simple as collecting the labels and sending them to the academy with your child. Important Note: Effective June 2, 2006, Campbell's will no longer accept front panel product labels as proof of purchase. In most cases, you need to save the UPC off the paper label or the lid off bottles and jars. Please click on the link above to make sure you are saving the correct proof of purchase.

		Abitibi's Paper Retriever Abitibi-Consolidated Recycling Division provides this program and collection service at no charge to the Academy of St. Adalbert. Two bright green and yellow containers next to the east door of the building are available for you to drop off your newspaper, magazines, shopping catalogs, office and school papers, and old mail. Paper is weighed by a scale on the collection truck, and funds are sent monthly to the Academy of St. Adalbert for the weight of paper collected for that month. When you drop off your paper, please make sure that it's free of plastic, glass, metal, and trash, as it can ruin the recycling process.

Over 55 certificates are available for gas, groceries, restaurants, department and sporting goods, home furnishings, appliances, electronics, clothes, pharmacies, gifts, office supplies and home improvements.
