Virutal Move-A-Thon Extended to May 26th!
All donations and pledges are now due on May 29th. Lets's do our best to reach our goal of $10,000!
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Saint Michael School must cancel or postpone numerous scheduled fundraisers, including the Spring Calendar Raffle, Epilepsy Foundation Clothing Drive, March Bingo, Krispy Kreme Fundraiser, and the Spring Fling. The financial repercussions of not being able to hold these fundraisers amounts to a projected loss of over $35,000 in budgeted revenue for the school.
However, there is a bright spot in all this gloomy news! We’ve gotten creative and taken our annual Jog-a-Thon, a large, popular fundraiser normally held in May, and adapted it to today’s “reality!” Without further ado, we’d like to introduce everyone to a beloved fundraiser with a new twist. It’s called the “Virtual Move-a-Thon!”
The basics of the Virtual Move-a-Thon are like the Jog-a-Thon for which students collect pledges/sponsors, then participate in a day of jogging or walking around the Saint Michael School building. This year there are some fun changes. Instead of jogging or running around the school, students get to select an activity of their choice! They can pick from running, walking, skipping, jumping rope, biking, throwing hoops – or any physical movement they can do alone or with their family. Also, instead of a set date, students will have more than a week (May 11-26) in which to complete it. Finally, all contributions are being made online at our dedicated Virtual Move-a-Thon website https://app.99pledges.com/fund/saintmicha3/addme. If you cannot make online contributions, please send a check or money order payable to Saint Michael School by mail or drop off in our black mailbox at the Read Street office door. Deadline for all contributions is Friday, May 29. If you have any questions, you may email pminch@saint-michael.com.
We understand this very important fundraiser comes at a difficult and unusual time for everyone because of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, with your love and generosity, Saint Michael School can grow stronger, better, and fuller in the spirit of Christ than ever.
Sincerely,
The Move-a-Thon Committee
