Join us in partnership with Ave Maria Mutual Funds for our 2023 Saint John Bosco Fund Day of Giving, a 24-hour event to support our new Saint John Bosco Fund. #RPADayofGiving
Every gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000 from Ave Maria Mutual Funds... and it begins with YOU! We are thrilled to introduce this new financial assistance fund. The purpose of this fund is to help deserving students and their families in our community who, without assistance, fall just short and cannot afford the stretch required to attain a Catholic, private education. Your donation today will help even more families send their children to Royal Palm Academy and receive the gift of Catholic education Each gift makes a difference, and we are counting on you. When combined with gifts from fellow parents, alumni, and friends, your gift adds up to big support for our school. Your participation matters! Please give today.
Grade-Level Competition: The top-3 grades with the highest total giving will earn a dress down day and class party for the entire grade level!
The leaderboard and giving platform closes at midnight tonight!
In this short 2-minute video message, Head of School Mike Bussman talks about our school finances and why we have launched our Day of Giving effort. Each year, RPA provides about 35% of our families with $455,000 in financial assistance. We need your support to help us provide this important financial assistance for our families. Please continue to share, promote, and donate to our Saint John Bosco Day of Giving. Every dollar raised will help to offset the cost of financial assistance to families who want an RPA experience for their child.
Your support for our Day of Giving allows us to redirect income to other important school activities. This includes improving our student experience, expanding our clubs and athletics, improving our teacher compensation, and upgrading our school facilities.
It all comes together in this one Day of Giving effort! Thank you for your incredible support! Click here to support our Day of Giving: https://www.givecampus.com/0pd7ew
