PrintWe Need Your Help!! Pledges to this year’s drive are at an all time low!
Roof Fund – Total pledges and contributions as of February 2010 – $3,355 from 19 families – a mere 9% of our 219 families.
As I mentioned before, we have received several bids for our roof replacement and they range from $260,800 to $360,800. Currently, we have raised more than $38,000 for this task. We have one grant request to the Catholic Foundation pending and an additional request to another foundation in the works, but unfortunately, our request to the Dallas Foundation was not granted which is why your participation in the Roof Fund Drive is so vital! As we look to these outside donors for funding, it is important that we demonstrate our own commitment to the school by achieving 100% participation from the St. E community in the Roof Fund Drive. Think about what we could accomplish if every one of the 219 families at St. Elizabeth School participated at whatever level that was possible for each family.
We have our work cut out for us, but with your help, we can make it happen! You received a Roof Fund brochure and pledge card during the month of November.
It is not so much the amount on the returned pledge card as much as it is the pledge card itself. By sending in your pledge card — no matter what amount you pledge — you are sending us a tangible sign that tells us you believe in the mission of this school. It might be $250, $25 or even $2.50 – every gift is greatly appreciated. But what is so important — and so necessary — is to have the full participation of our parents, no matter what the financial level.
For your convenience, we now accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover Card via PayPal. Click the donate button in the right column of this page or visit the SaintsPride.com website at anytime and click the Donate button there.
Please prayerfully consider becoming a part of this very important project.
