School Fundraising: How St. Ambrose Raised Over $2000 for Their Students

Learn how St. Ambrose School was able to raise over $2000 with school fundraising. With the help of TeamFund, the parent council could focus on promoting the fundraiser without the hassle of paperwork.

St. Ambrose School is part of the Calgary Catholic School District and offers educational programs to students from kindergarten through grade nine. 

Not only that, but St. Ambrose is also part of the Hockey Canada Skills Academy, meaning their students can receive on and off ice training throughout the school year to develop their hockey skills. For the students who aren’t so sport-focused, the school also provides students the opportunity to develop their creative skills with band, art, or drama classes. 

Students at St. Ambrose are able to deepen their learning connections with these experiences, as well as increase their self-confidence in the skills that they are excited about! 

The positive atmosphere and community at St. Ambrose School is made possible by not only staff and students, but their School Council as well, which is made up of passionate parents working with the principals and teachers to work together toward common goals to support their students and children. 

However, not everything is covered with school fees. In order to raise money for the school, the parent council joined forces with TeamFund Fundraising in February 2022 to run a bacon fundraiser.

Their expectations were exceeded, so they returned in the Fall with another bacon fundraiser, and this time decided to combine vendors to include Coco Brooks (pizza!) as well. What student doesn’t love pizza!? 

The council was able to raise over $2,000 to support activities at the school, all while feeding their families at the same time.

Parents are already busy with jobs, picking up their kids from school, attending extra-curricular activities – so the parent council at St. Ambrose School was grateful for the added benefit of an online store for their fundraiser. That means no handing out paper order forms in homeroom, chasing payments, and no finding room in the school to store all the food.
