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 technology, help fund school field trips, support extracurricular activities like sports and clubs and purchase updated equipment for teachers and students. ​

Lancer Legacy Ball

Mark your calendars for the 21st Annual Lancer Legacy Ball on May 22. The silent auction will open on May 15, 2021, at 8 a.m.
This event is the largest fundraiser St. Mary Catholic School DeKalb has each year. We raise 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.

Because of your support over the years, we've been able to continue to support not only subjects like science, social studies, math, reading, and writing but also Spanish, music, art, physical education, and technology.

The annual #LancerLegacyBall is an exciting event and provides a unique marketing opportunity for local businesses as well. 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.

Lap for Lancers

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