Our 2021 Fund A Need update:
Parish Hall & School Bathrooms… The updates are underway! We’ve raised over $35,000 in direct Fund-A-Need donations! That’s our highest auction total in years, but with additional support we can make this project come to completion even quicker! We have met with contractors and the planning team to pick colors and styles and outline our timeline… our hope is to have all things completed by the end of July so our school is ready for full re-opening this Fall with all bathroom’s completed!

How to Donate
How to Donate – Parent, Business, and Community Donors
Thank you for your contribution to the 49th Annual OLG Auction, “An Evening at Sea with OLG.” Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School is dedicated to fostering Gospel values, inspiring academic excellence, and developing service and leadership in our students. Without your support – as parents, parishioners, and community partners – we’d be unable to raise the money necessary to continue our mission.
Parents:
We’re asking all OLG families who can make their required $200 donation in cash this year to do so here. Thanks to the many families who have already made their donations in cash. Our early liquidity is allowing us to procure and put together a slew of new items and experiences for our Auctions!
Families wishing to facilitate corporate sponsorships or business donations, or donate tangible items or experiences are required to reach out to Development Director Rebecca Arcarese to begin that process.
Business and Community Donors:
We invite you to make an in-kind contribution of an item, service, or cash donation. Sponsorship Levels are available as well!
Your donation will help fund new curriculum and instructional materials to enrich our students’ academic experiences, provide the technology to enable ALL students to remotely access a full and stimulating education, ensure necessary COVID-19 updates to all classrooms in preparation for in-person classes, and further integrate technology into our classrooms.
In return for your support through the donation of a gift card, tangible item, or a cash contribution we’ll recognize your donation in the Auction Catalog and throughout our social media platforms.
Please fill out our online donation form or e-mail Procurement Chair Clare Moffat by Feb. 1, 2020. We can arrange safe pick-up and drop-off for all items. We appreciate that many individuals and organizations are currently encountering financial challenges and, as such, we thank you for taking the time to consider donating to our school in these extraordinary times.
Our Lady of Guadalupe is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Our Tax ID is #91-0725901. All donations are tax-deductible to the extent of the law.
