Walk-A-Thon
Congratulations to our amazing Res students who raised over $32,400 
at our Walk-A-Thon with 97 % participation! 
 
Why is fundraising so important?
As you know, tuition only covers approximately 80% of the cost of a Resurrection education. 
Each student currently receives a $3,390 subsidy and fundraising helps us fill that gap.

Cash Raffle Update 
 
Congratulations to the winners of the first Cash Raffle
drawing that was held  on Monday, September 28! 
Enter early and have more chances to win! 

 Cash Raffle details
The next drawing will be November 2 for $1500.
Ticket stubs and payment can be submitted as tickets are sold. The final drawing will be held on December 8 and all sold and unsold tickets are due back no later than December 7.
