Race for Education
St. Augustine Catholic School’s Race for Education was a HUGE Success-Thank You!
Given the generosity of our school community, we raised over $50,000 for the 2025-26 Race for Education that benefitted the students, teachers, and the school. Our 2026-2027 Race for Education kicks off September 21, 2026!
A Letter from Mrs. Emery, our Advancement Director
Dear St. Augustine School Families,
Ready, Set, RACE!
We are excited to kick off our 23rd Annual Race for Education fundraiser, and this year, we are turning it into a six-week adventure! For the next six weeks, our students will set goals, complete challenges, collect passport stickers, and race toward some exciting school-wide goals and prizes. Most importantly, every dollar raised goes directly toward supporting our students, teachers, and school.
Today, your child will bring home a Race for Education Passport. Think of it as their guidebook for the next six weeks! Each week, students will have a new goal or challenge to complete. As they check off each step, they will earn stickers for their passport and a free dress pass to use at their choosing during our six-week adventure (excluding Mass days)!
Our first mission is to set up your family fundraising page by Friday, September 25.
To get started, text RACE4ED to 71777 or visit our Race for Education fundraising page at https://fundraise.givesmart.
Click “Become a Fundraiser” to create your family’s page. Tip: If you would like your page listed under your family name, enter your last name as the first name and type “Family” as the last name. Once your family page is set up, your student will earn their first passport sticker and a free dress pass!
As we move through the six weeks, we will also have plenty of exciting milestones to work toward. Our top fundraiser will win a night out with Mr. Miller, Mrs. Kaplan, and their favorite teacher!
As our school reaches fundraising milestones, we will unlock fun prizes for our entire school community, including an ice cream cart for snack sales, new Christmas trees and a nativity scene, and a brand-new recess shed filled with games and activities.
And then there is our biggest goal: $50,000. If we reach $50,000, we will be able to install a brand-new, much-needed gym/hall floor. With every family working toward the $300 goal, we truly believe we can make it happen together.
Thank you for being such an important part of the St. Augustine School family. Your generosity makes a real difference, and we are so grateful for your continued partnership and support.
Let the Race for Education begin!
Best Regards,
Joy Emery, Advancement Director
