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.
The walkathon will be a little different this year. Instead of all gathering together at the bike path and walking as a large group, we are asking that you find a time between September 26th and October 17th to walk with your family. Please share with us pictures of your walk by sending them to cworrell@fcsfalcons.com. We will post pictures on the school Facebook page to share with the school family.
Make it a family outing!
There are so many good places to walk (or hike) in the area including White Pines, Lowell Park, Lowden Park, Castle Rock. We intentionally gave you some extra time to plan your family’s walk. You could even use the week of October 12th – 16th when we are off to plan a great family walk. “Door Prizes” will be awarded to the family with the best pictures and location.
In the weeks leading up to your walk ask friends, family, neighbors, etc. for donations. Cash donations are wonderful, but during this time online donations are preferred. All online donations can be made by following the Walkathon 2020 link. Donors will receive a donation confirmation that serves as their tax receipt. Please make sure your donors note your name on the online form so you will get the credit toward your yearly fundraising goal.
