Thank you! We may not have reached our marathon goal this year, but the spirit and effort each of you put into it is something to truly celebrate. Every step taken, every hour dedicated, and every donation offered reminds us of the incredible community we are blessed to have. Thank you for your support, your enthusiasm, and your heart for this cause. Let’s carry this momentum forward, knowing that together, we can keep striving toward even greater things. We are grateful beyond measure for each of you!
What is a School Marathon? Each year, St. Mary’s School joins hundreds of other Catholic schools throughout the country in an annual fundraising Marathon. The purpose is twofold: to show the community what “forming servant leaders” look like and to raise money in support of our school’s mission: Forming Tomorrow’s Saints Today. We invite our families to join us as we enjoy camaraderie with friends and raise money for our academic programs. When community members see our students’ drive and motivation to help our school, they, in return, desire to support the faith-based formation our school offers each of our students.
How does the Marathon work? Just like past years, our Marathon is one of St. Mary’s School’s main fundraising events. The funds raised from this year’s Marathon will go towards educational enhancements. This year, our school goal is to raise $20,000. With everyone’s participation, we can achieve this goal!
Our Marathon runs from Tuesday, September 3, 2024, through Wednesday, October 16, 2024. Throughout this time, individual students and families are encouraged to get out in the community and ask for Marathon pledges. Additionally, we will come together as a community and walk our school grounds on Wednesday, October 16, 2024, to fulfill our commitment to our generous community. Parents are encouraged to participate that day alongside students!
All donations are 100% tax-deductible, with proceeds directly supporting the school’s mission.
