What is the Magazine Drive?

This fundraiser’s success is crucial to supporting the current year’s operating budget and relies on our excited students, dedicated families, supportive staff and generous customers. We are so proud that sales over the last several years have exceeded $120,000 annually. Our school gets to keep 51% of sales! This year’s goal is $125,000!

HOW?

Magazines provide reading materials for both children and adults and make great gifts. By placing orders through the school, we keep 51% of the purchase price contributed. Our prices for magazines are not inflated. Even if you are already receiving a magazine, you can renew through Holy Rosary and the order will extend on your current subscription. The publisher guarantees 100% satisfaction.

THE STEPS

Students and parents work together to obtain new, renewed, or gift magazine subscriptions from relatives, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Digital subscriptions are offered on some your favorite titles to be enjoyed on your e-reader or iPad. Gift cards ($25) are also available so there is something for everyone! If magazines are not for you, then donations are accepted via credit card. Sales information and prizes will be sent home via email and in Monday or Thursday packets.

A kick-off video will be viewed in early September to get everyone excited about our school theme and the Magazine Drive. Orders are placed online and it is strongly encouraged that students have their own seller profile created on the FUNDERWORKS website so they can take advantage of all the great selling tools available. Cash donations are also accepted in lieu of a magazine order and are turned in each Tuesday during the drive for order credit ($25 = 1 order). Subscriptions $50 and over are worth 2 subscriptions,  $99 and over are worth 4 subscriptions and $189+ are worth 8 subscriptions! The turn in results are announced at the end of each Tuesday and summarized in the weeks eFC.  Individual student accounts will NOT reflect $25 donations or subscriptions $99 and over.  Those calculations are made manually the last day of the Magazine Drive.

At the end of the Drive, we will have a final virtual assembly to celebrate our results and prizes will be distributed.
