Our Fundraisers

Helping Keep Tuition Affordable

At St. Mary’s Academy, we are deeply grateful for the incredible support we receive from our SMA families and friends in our community. Fundraising efforts focus on three key events each year:

  • September -Parent Association fundraiser
  • Fall- Advent Cash Calendar Raffle
  • Spring- A.C.E. Gala & Auction (Advocates for Catholic Education)

These events are made successful through the generosity of financial contributions, commitment from our sponsors, and the hard work of our staff and volunteers.  Each of our fundraisers help fund enrichment programs for our students that enhance their educational experience, and many beyond the bell activities and programs that would not be offered without the support of our fundraisers.    We sincerely thank you for any support you choose to lend to SMA. 

Get Involved

There are many ways to get involved—join us in our fundraising events, support the Parent Association, or lend a hand in organizing activities that enrich our students’ lives. Every effort, big or small, helps us continue to create a nurturing and dynamic environment where our students can grow and succeed. We invite you to take part in shaping the future of St. Mary’s Academy—together, we can achieve great things!
