Raffle-Selling Recommendations!
Throw on the Aggie Gear. Download our poster. Practice a simple (but polite) sales pitch and put the cuteness of your little ones to work!
1. Sell at Celebrations.
Take advantage of gatherings to connect with relatives and friends from near and far. Encourage your kids to tell their aunts, uncles, grandparents, and godparents what they are doing in school. Your students can gently invite their relatives to support their Saint Agnes education by purchasing a raffle ticket!
2. Neighborhood Stroll. Send your kids into the neighborhood to bring any lingering Christmas treats to your neighbors. Have them offer raffle ticket sales during these holiday treat exchanges!
3. Go to Church. Come early or stay after Mass to connect with your fellow parishioners. Have your kids wear their uniforms and write their names and grades on signs. Team up with those you worship with to support Catholic education through our school raffle!
4. Get Social. Post a photo of your kids participating in activities at Saint Agnes or share a picture of the car being raffled. Encourage friends to message you if they are interested in buying a ticket. Send emails directly to friends and family for a more personal invite.
The final turn in date for the raffle will be Friday, January 12. Students who have sold $300 in tickets by this date will be included in a drawing for a chance to win a $150 Visa Gift Card! (One K-6 student and one 7-12 student will each win a gift card). Students who have already earned spirit wear may wear their shirts on Thursday, January 11 as a special reward. After January 12, any remaining ticket stubs and money may be brought to the main office.
Thank you all for your hard work! Remember, 100% of funds raised stay right here at Saint Agnes!
Please

Help Make the Red & White Benefit a Success!
This annual event will be held on Saturday, February 10. Here are four ways to be a part of it!
Donations
: Year-end sales are a great time to shop for silent auction items. Food and liquor baskets, gift cards, tickets to sporting or music events, or "experiences" are also very popular. Items can be dropped in the main office or the Advancement office during business hours. Please fill out a donation form so that we can give proper credit with the donated item. Forms are available for download here or in the main office.
With your support, we can make this our most successful event yet! Please contact Mary Appel with questions or visit the website to learn more about the annual Red & White Benefit.
