ICS Fundraising

Scrip is “substitute money”. When you purchase scrip, you will receive negotiable certificates or cards that can be used like cash to purchase products or services from merchants who have issued them. Scrip can be used to purchase anything from groceries, fuel, clothing, toys, and cosmetics to entertainment, electronics, home improvement, or household services. A certain percentage of each amount purchased, varied by retailer, will be given back to ICS. Every $300 spent will earn 1 volunteer hour.

Incarnation Catholic School’s, Reach for the Stars Dinner Dance and Auction began nine years ago as a one-time endeavor to raise funds for a much needed computer lab. The committee raised $18,000 that orientation year. The most successful fundraiser before the event raised $5,000. And so the Reach For the Stars Gala became the corner stone of the Home and School fundraising efforts.

You may not realize that things in your daily lives can add great value to the event. And, you may be able to receive service hours for your donation. The following are some suggestions as to how to help:

And remember, we can always use more hands. If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact Maggie Neal at (813) 215-8767, e-mail: m.neal6@verizon.net!

Every 2nd Thursday of the month ICS will have Papa John's Pizza night. 20% of your delivery or carry out order will go back to ICS. Orders can be made from any Pap John's Pizza restaurant.

Donate your used ink cartridges and old cell phones to the school which will then be recycled to the Funding Factory, earning points for ICS. Points are then redeemed for educational and technological supplies, books, recreation equipment and more.

Box Tops for Education

Help support ICS the easy way! Box Tops for Education is a nationwide fundraising program sponsored by General Mills that exchanges box tops for cash. This money can then be used to buy equipment, supplies, books, etc. for ICS. Just clip the box tops from by specially- marked, everyday food products and turn them in to the office. ICS also participates in the Labels for Education program, sponsored by the Campbell Soup Company.
