Fundraising


The actual cost of educating a grade school child at St. Joseph School is greater than the cost of tuition. It is through the generous support of our parish and the phenomenal fundraising efforts of the St. Joseph Parish-School Organization that we are able to offer affordable tuition at our school. You can help raise funds for our school by participating in the efforts below. Thanks to all of you for your support.

Special Events
Each year, St. Joseph School hosts fundraising events such as Oktoberfest, Jubilee Jog 5K Run, and the annual Spring Dinner and Auction. The events are also wonderful community building opportunities, with crowds of several thousand attending them all.

Schoolpop.com
With Schoolpop, we can raise funds for St. Joseph School every time you shop. Subscribe to magazines, shop with a Schoolpop Visa card or shop at hundreds of participating stores, catalogs and online merchants to earn a rebate for our school. Click here to learn more. Your purchases will earn rebates for St. Joseph School.

Box Tops for Education
Clip box top labels from hundreds of your favorite General Mills products. Each box top is worth ten cents to our school. Save your box tops and then turn them in to the your teacher or the school office. Since beginning our participation in the Box Tops program, our school has collected over 15,000 Box Tops for a total of more than $1,500!

Lands' End
Use our Preferred School number, 9000-6064-1, and Lands' End will contribute 3% of your purchase total to our school.

Target
Did you know that when you make purchases using a Target VISA, a percentage will be donated to St. Joseph School? What an easy way to raise money and better yet – it doesn’t cost you anything! Target will donate 1% of all your purchases made at Target stores or target.com and ½% of all other purchases. Target makes these donations twice a year: in March and September. In March of this year, Target donated $427.89 to our school – with more families participating, we could easily quadruple that number.

How it works: To apply for a Target VISA (and be sure it’s a VISA, not the store card), you can: call 888-755-5856 and ask for an application to be sent to you or apply over the phone; apply on line at www.target.com or apply in person at any Target store. There are no annual fees associated with the Target VISA. Once you’ve opened an account and have your account number, you need to designate that you want St. Joseph School to be the beneficiary of your shopping experience. To do that you can again go on line or call the Take Charge of Education number, 800-316-6142 and do it over the phone. Every month at the bottom of your statement, it will list where your donation is being made.

Old Printer Cartridges and Cell Phones

St. Joseph School will receive money for all used printer cartridges and old cell phones. Bring these items in to the school office and we will take care of the rest!
