Unique Fundraising Campaign from St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School

What if you could just dine out as you normally do, and that results in local businesses donating to charity?

That is the premise behind St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School’s innovative approach for fundraising over the next couple of weeks.

According to Statista, about 70 percent of Americans eat out at casual-dining restaurants at least once a week. So St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School has come up with a variety of restaurants to choose from for the fundraising effort.

It is as simple as choosing a restaurant from the list and eating!

In some cases, campaign helpers get special treatment such as free appetizer or nachos. Local restaurants donate 15 percent to 25 percent of online sales to St Elizabeth Ann Seton School.

“Fundraising touches the very heart of parents since it is supporting the growth of a ‘home away from home’ for their children,” said Sister Gabriel, Principal of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton School.

In addition, other kinds of local businesses have created special offers for the campaign. And as local businesses have volunteered to help, the school community is asking everybody else to participate.

“My kids go to this school and I absolutely love the education and care they get,” said Uthay Kumar, who owns personaevents.com website and also came up with this idea. “I am glad to participate and contribute to this initiative. All local businesses were supportive of the idea and we sincerely thank them for their support”.
