FUNDRAISING COMMITMENT
All families are reminded of their fundraising commitment to ICS. Dual parent households need to raise at least $150 through either or both the Raffle and Auction. Single parent families are expected to contribute $75 during these two events which are the school's two largest fundraisers.
Families that do not meet this commitment will be charged for their remaining balance. The easiest thing to do is sell your Raffle tickets to friends, neighbors, relatives, co-workers. In this way, there is no out of pocket expense for your family, just the investment of some time and energy to help our great school sustain and enhance its dynamic Catholic education.
