Auction Raffle 50/50 Tickets

IT’S 50/50 RAFFLE TIME! Tickets are due Friday 3/14/2025  before 3:30pm  

Each family is asked to sell two packs of 50/50 raffle tickets to help raise money for the school. The winning ticket will be pulled during our “Lucky Hearts & Blessed Futures” SFdS Benefit on Saturday, March 15th at The Lake Geneva Yacht Club. You do not need to be present to win. There are 6 tickets in each pack, $10 each or 6 tickets for $50. For families who sell their minimum (12 tickets) and return them on time by Friday, March 14th, they will all earn a casual day.

Wait, there’s more! The family/student who sells the most tickets will earn a $500 tuition credit for the 2025-26 school year. And the prizes just keep coming! For the class that sells the most tickets (family sales will count toward each class they have students in), they will earn a pizza party for lunch!!

So sell, sell, and sell! You can always pick up more tickets in the office or let Traci know and she can send them home with your student. All money and tickets sold or unsold, need to be returned in the original envelope given to you by Friday, March 14th.

Thank you so much for your continued support of St. Francis de Sales Parish School! Rooted in the history of the Eucharistic Congress, CRS Rice Bowl invites Catholics and faith communities in the United States to encounter God and our global family throughout Lent by practicing the pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Lenten alms donated through CRS Rice Bowl support the work of CRS in more than 120 different countries each year. Twenty-five percent of donations to CRS Rice Bowl stay in the local diocese, supporting hunger and poverty alleviation efforts. Since its inception in 1975, CRS Rice Bowl has raised more than $350 million.    (Rice Bowls will be sent home this Friday 2/28/2025)                  

Thank you for your continued support for this mission.
