Providence Catholic's Annual Harvest Drive to Conclude with Olympic Celebration and Raffle Drawing

Providence Catholic High School’s annual Fall Harvest Drive officially kicked off on August 27 and will conclude with the grand prize raffle drawing and “Olympic” celebration for students on September 19. Through the hard work of students, parents, teachers and patrons who supported the school, last year’s drive generated more than $370,000.

“The Harvest Drive is among the most successful student fundraising programs in the nation for Catholic high schools,” said Ed Barrett the school’s Advancement Director. “Our families understand the importance of its success to the financial well-being of the school.”

All Providence Catholic students are required to participate in this fundraiser. Their obligation is met by selling advertisement listing space and/or raffle tickets to businesses, community members, family and friends. Advertisement listings will be featured in the Harvest Drive E-Directory, which will be accessed through the school’s website.

Raffle tickets are $10 each and will give the purchaser a chance to win the $10,000 Harvest Drive Grand Prize, which will be drawn on Friday, September 19. There will be additional raffle prizes drawn for 1st through 10th prizes, which range from $100 to $2,000. Winners need not be present.
