Fundraising is a crucial part of the success we have at St. Mary School. These events help keep tuition low, pay for additional academic courses like music, physical education, and S.T.E.M., help fund school field trips, support extracurricular activities like sports and clubs and purchase updated equipment for teachers and students. ​

Lancer Legacy Ball

The Lancer Legacy Ball is the largest fundraiser St. Mary Catholic School DeKalb has each year. We raised over $70,000 from the support of the community, St. Mary School and Church families and friends. This money is a critical piece for us to close the tuition gap and allows us to offer a high-quality academic curriculum to all students from pre-k to 8th grade.

This event also provides a unique marketing opportunity for local businesses. The ball is an adult-only dinner dance that includes a live auction, silent auction and raffles. We invite community members as well as our school and church families with over 225 people who participate each year making this event an excellent way to advertise your business. 

We look forward to your continued support. Donations may be tax-deductible and our tax ID number is 36-2277373.

Donations may be sent to:

Laps for Lancers

​Laps for Lancers is our school walk-a-thon. This takes place during school hours. 

A walk-athon is a healthy and educational fundraising alternative that promotes positive character qualities, healthy habits, and teamwork, all while supporting our school!

Students participate by walking (or running) laps around the school circle drive and fundraising for donations.

in 2022, we raised over $25,000!

Raise Right

It’s easy—and it works. By using gift cards to pay for everyday (and not-so-everyday) expenses, you can earn money to go directly towards your tuition payments.

You pay $50 for a $50 gift card. Use to
pay for your purchases or give as a gift.
For every gift card purchased, you receive earnings up to 20%. The earnings come from the gift card brand you are purchasing—their way of supporting organizations and
communities like ours.
