Laps for Lancers Walk-a-thon

Casino Night -
​November 4, 2023

Picture
We've moved our largest fundraiser of the year to the fall instead of the Spring. The Lancer Legacy Ball was the largest fundraiser St. Mary Catholic School DeKalb has each year. This year we're planning on doing a casino night and silent auction November 4. 

Each year, we raise over $60,000 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.

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:

365 Day Raffle

All families are required to participate in the 365 Day Raffle by selling raffle tickets each year.  If a family sells more than the required amount of raffle tickets, half of those ticket sales go towards the family's tuition account.

We do a drawing each day & your ticket is put back in so the purchased ticket has 365 chances to win! More information will be sent home in February.
