Fundraising is an essential part of Catholic Schools, and we ask all of our families to take an active role in our fundraising efforts. Fundraising events at our school provide a special way to build community as well as a way to keep our school financially strong. We undertake fundraising to do our best to keep tuition as low as possible for our families and assist with the operating costs of our schools. By participating in the school community, you have a direct impact on the school’s vitality and continued success.

The Diocese of Pittsburgh and the South Regional Catholic Elementary Schools have a policy that all schools must follow regarding the school’s operating budget. At our schools, around sixty-six percent (66%) of our operating costs come from tuition, twenty-two percent (22%) from regional subsidy, twelve percent (12%) from fundraising, and the remaining amount is derived from general donations.

With all of our families working together, we can make a difference in the lives of our students and students in the years to come. This year (2024-2025) JFK's financial obligation is upwards of $200K.

The booklet below contains fundraising opportunities as well as social activities and events. It is our hope that this booklet will keep you informed of the many opportunities available to you to become involved in the John F. Kennedy Catholic School community, as well as aid you in reaching your volunteer and fundraising obligations.

Through the Family Share Program, the South Regional Catholic Elementary Schools formalize fundraising and volunteerism opportunities and give our families the opportunity to support the school, become more involved in the school community, and build community with other parents and families. With your participation and support, we can work together to help our school thrive and continue to provide our students with the opportunity to receive a Catholic education foundation built on Catholic values, strong academics, family, and a commitment to serving the community. Any amount raised through the Family Share Program goes directly back to supporting the school.
