Q: When did the Fun Run start?
A: The Fun Run has been our school’s largest fundraiser for over 20 years! Throughout the years there have been some changes. The fundraiser has changed from the name of “Race for Ed" where students would ask family and friends to sponsor them to run laps around the field to a cash calendar raffle giving ticket holders a chance to win a cash prize. Rather than run laps, the students now walk in Nazareth the event day and show off their school pride.

A: Fun Run for Holy Family is our school’s largest fundraiser of the year! Each student is required to sell at least 10 cash calendar raffle tickets at $10 each. There are prizes for selling over 10 tickets.
Q: What is a cash calendar raffle?
A: A cash calendar raffle is a $10 ticket that has a winning amount each day of the month. During the month of November, a winner is pulled daily for a cash prize of $50 to $500. Winning tickets are placed back into the raffle giving multiple chances to win!
