The Appalachia Trip is supported entirely by the fundraising efforts of its members and the generous support of our parish congregations and larger community.
Participant Fundraising Requirements
Each member contributes $150 in commitment money, as their own investment in the trip.
Each member is also required to raise at least $250 of fundraising money.
Each member is required to participate in one of our two group fundraisers.
Group Fundraisers
Each year, we host two to three community fundraising events. Check back soon for 2026 dates and more information!
Online Giving
If you aren't able to join us at an event but would still like to support us financially, please consider donating online. We will post our trip donations page closer to the trip, or you can give online anytime through the St. George online giving page or the St. John Bosco online giving page. If you give online through the church websites, please specify that your donation is for Appalachia.
NOTE: No one will ever be excluded from the trip for financial reasons! If you have concerns about the Commitment or Fundraising Money, please reach out to one of the trip leaders. We will be happy to work with you, and everything you share with us will remain completely confidential.
All checks should be made out to St. George Church, and please include "Appalachia Trip" in the memo line.
Thank you for your incredible generosity!
