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:
Faith Christian School
Attn: Support FCS (*Family Name)
7571 S. Ridge Road
Dixon, IL 61021
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
Our first fundraiser for the school is the FCS Walkathon. This is the only fundraiser where your family receives 100% of the dollars you raise. This fundraiser is a great way to earn dollars toward the yearly fundraising goal of $500 per student.
We will gather together at the Dixon bike path and walk as a large group.
September 25th
Students earn pledges and participate in a 2 mile walk.
Fundraising Profit = 100% of total sales.

Year Round Fundraisers
Enroll and shop for participating merchants gift cards (SCRIP) through the Faith Christian School order form or online at http://www.shopwithscrip.com/. Earn contributions (percentages vary depending on merchant) to go to tuition assistance or fundraising requirements. You designate where you funds will go when you enroll. Orders are made every Wednesday during the school year with pick up the following Wednesday. Some of our more popular retailers include WalMart, Kohl’s, Shell, Marathon, Subway, Menards, Amazon, JC Penny, Bath & Body Works, Staples, Shopko, & Pizza Hut.

Families purchase gift cards to make everyday purchases for groceries, gas, restaurants, and retail stores. FCS is able to purchase each gift card at a reduced rate (1.5%-25% off) and that discount is passed on to the FCS family.
Fundraising Profit – 90% of total profits

Keep saving those Tyson® labels! Each one is worth 24 cents to our school. Be sure to cut out the dotted line arround the “Project A+” on participating products. We need a minimum of 10 labels to submit, so each submission is worth $24.00 for FCS!
We are now being supported by Amazon Smile as a charitable organization (a division of Amazon.com). Whenever shoppers choose to do their shopping through the Amazon Smile website instead of the regular Amazon.com site, Amazon will donate a percentage of their profits to the charitable organization of the shopper’s choice.
Details
To begin, visit www.smile.amazon.com. Once you get to the homepage, type in Faith Assembly of Grand Detour in the “select your charity” field and click “enter”. Amazon will bring up Faith Assembly of Grand Detour as a button to click and confirm. That’s it. You can shop on Amazon’s extensive website for nearly anything. Amazon will automatically remit payment directly to Faith Assembly of Grand Detour in support of Faith Christian School. Just another way for our school and ministry to continue growing.
