It is Walk-a-Thon Time!
Our first fundraiser for the school year is the FCS WALK-A-THON. Join us on Saturday, September 23, 2023 at the Dixon Bike Path, Washington St., entrance at 9:00am for this exciting opportunity to support Faith Christian School. 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 turnaround, 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 at another location.
In the weeks leading up to the walk ask friends, family, neighbors, etc. for donations. An envelope with a pledge sheet attached was sent home the week of September 1. 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 the 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 20, 2023.
Online giving is also available through the school’s website. Make sure your donors note your name on the online form so that you get the credit toward your yearly fundraising goal.
