Sacred Heart and St. Anthony Parishes are again teaming up to raise funds for our schools, and to create an opportunity for fellowship among both parishes.We currently have approximately 10 couples from each parish working very hard to plan and execute a new Effingham Catholic Schools fundraiser, which replaces the previously held car raffle event.
This year, we’re transforming the Effingham Knights of Columbus building into a Vegas-style casino. With the help of a professional casino event company from Chicago, we’ll bring the real-life excitement of a Vegas casino to Effingham. Straight from Vegas, the gambling tables include blackjack, craps, Texas hold-em, and roulette. AND - We’ll also have BINGO.
This “Games for Giving” event will take place on Saturday, March 13, 2010. It will be held at the Effingham Knight of Columbus Building. Tickets are $50 per person. Your ticket price includes your entry into the casino, $300 worth of “funny money” with which you’ll gamble, your first entry into the big raffle, as well as happy hour drinks, and heavy hors d’oeuvres that will be served throughout the evening.
During the course of the evening, you’ll use your “funny money” to try your luck at the various games. At the end of the evening your “winnings” can then be traded for additional tickets to the big raffle.
The big raffle prizes include $2,000.00 cash, donated by the Knights of Columbus; a 42” flat screen LCD TV, donated by Al’s Electronics; a “money tree” comprised of various gift cards; a St. Louis Cardinals baseball package, a Fabulous Fox ticket package, and more!
Fundraising in the Catholic school system is a special way of building community. We urge you to attend “Games for Giving” – not as a way to simply contribute to the viability of Sacred Heart and St. Anthony Schools, but as a great way to fellowship with each other.
No matter what parish we belong to, we all share a strong commitment to the success of our Catholic schools. We believe in the Catholic school system, its values, and its traditions. We believe that a Catholic education provides our children and grandchildren with life long dividends of faith, knowledge, morals, and discipline.
As you all know, Catholic schools are under serious pressure in this economy. Hundreds of Catholic schools have closed in the last year, with many more struggling to keep their doors open. This “Games for Giving” fundraiser will help to offset some of the rising operation costs facing our schools.
For this new and unique event to be a success, we need your support, and we need your participation. On behalf of Sacred Heart and St. Anthony Parishes, we thank you for your past and future investments in our schools.
