Auction is a gala dinner/auction with 250 guests held here at St.
Mark School. A wonderful social event and proven fundraiser, it has grown from a
net gain of $35,000 in the first year to an all time high of $80,000. A Family
Night was added 9 years ago. The 2012
Auction - VEGAS BABY is being planned now. The auction chair this year is Maureen Haider.
Scrip Sales
are conducted through the Scrip coordinator.
School families, friends, and parishioners orders gift cards from over
600 merchants for groceries, dining out, retail shopping, and entertainment
online, purchasing at their full face value.
St. Mark purchases these gift cards for you at a discounted price.
The difference between the face value and St. Mark’s purchase price,
called a “rebate” amount, is the profit earned for St. Mark
School.
