Fundraising
Faith Christian School PTF continues to work toward organizing fundraisers for families to raise money. We have continued several of the successful fundraisers that have been proven in the past and continue to research new ways to help.
Pay by Cash or Check
Individual donation funds can be specified per family. Donations can be made via cash or check payable to Faith Christian School. The mailing address for donations is:

OR Pay Online
If you would like to donate online please use our Smart Tuition button and give credit to a designated school family.
FCS Walk-a-thon 2022
Our first fundraiser for the school year is the FCS WALKATHON. Join us on Saturday, September 24, 2022 at the Dixon Bike Path Washington St. entrance at 9:00am for this exciting opportunity to support Faith Christian School.
In the weeks leading up to the walk ask friends, family, neighbors, etc. for donations. An envelope with a pledge sheet is attached. Make sure your donors fill out all of their pertinent information on the pledge sheet. If they would like a receipt for tax purposes, please mark “yes” in the tax receipt column and a receipt will be mailed. If your potential donor would like to be billed at a later date that is also an option. Just make sure to record their correct address with zip code on the form and DO NOT mark paid. This shows the school office who needs to be billed. Please use the envelope for all pledges collected. The turn in date for pledge sheet, including all pledges collected, is Wednesday, September 21, 2022.
Online giving is also available through the school website, fcsfalcons.com. Make sure your donors note your name on the online form for you to get the credit toward your yearly fundraising goal of $500 per student.
The WALKATHON is the only fundraiser in which you get 100% credit for the money you collect toward your yearly fundraising obligation. The top earner for K through 6th grade and the top earner 7th – 12th grade will each receive $100.
On Saturday, September 24, the walk will begin at 9:00am. We will meet briefly at the entrance to the bike path prior to the walk. There will be a time of prayer and a drawing for door prizes for those in attendance prior to walking. The 1 mile marker signifying the turn around will be marked. When you have finished the 2 mile course you are free to go. Water and snacks will be provided. You do not need to be present to participate in the fundraiser. Just walk 2 miles on your own. In the case of inclement weather, a text alert notification will be sent by 8:15am.
September 25th
Students earn pledges and participate in a 2 mile walk.
