Welcome Home, Dragons! 

As you know, we kick off the school year with one of our biggest fundraisers of the year -- our annual Jog-a-Thon -- Sunday September 29th.  Remember, every family's fundraising commitment is $500 annually, and Jog-A-Thon and the Auction are the 2 ways you can do this.

Start reaching out to your friends', family and colleagues that can help support you to meet your family's fundraising goals! 

 

We are excited to announce we have a new fundraising platform called OneCause, and all families can create their own fundraising page to share with your friends and family.

Anyone who donates to the Jog-a-thon can qualify for our company matching program! Many companies match donations or donate for volunteer hours.  Ask your HR departments if they do this.  Companies who don't have a matching program may also make a one-time matching donation.

Jogathon Overview & History

We have 2 main fundraisers for the year – the Jog-a-thon and Auction.  The Jog-a-thon is St. George’s time immemorial event at the end of September that kicks off our school year with great spirit and community involvement.  Students and their families participate after Mass on the last Sunday of September.  Students fundraisers receive a special Jog-a-thon t-shirt designed by a schoolmate that wins the t-shirt design contest.

​

In the past, we would get pledges for running laps at Cleveland Field.  Now, our course runs through the Beacon Hill neighborhood, around Maple Field, and back to the school to celebrate with ice cream from our friends at Husky Deli and a BBQ lunch catered by our very own Catering by Edwin team. 

 

Every family commits to a goal of raising $250-500 for the Jog-a-thon.  You can help support by donating time, cash or goods for the Jog-a-thon event.
