Fundraising
In order to meet diocesan goals for school fundraising, the Northside Catholic Assumption Academy Fundraising Committee creates opportunities for the parishioners, school families, and community to raise money to contribute to the annual school budget.
Through direct financial support, participation in events, sponsorship, and promotion of fundraising opportunities, parish and community members are invited to help reach annual fundraising goals for the school. The Fundraising Committee works to broaden the reach of events and sales, as well as increase involvement of interested businesses, families, and individuals in an effort to benefit Northside Catholic Assumption Academy.
