2019 Marathon Day of Service -  Friday, October 4th 

On Friday, October 4, Carondelet students, faculty and friends will donate over 1,000 service hours to those in our surrounding community. 

Our goal is to raise $75,000 in pledges! If you'd like to make a donation to help us reach our fundraising goal, you can Donate Online Here>>

What is the 'Marathon Day of Service'? 

An annual tradition at Carondelet, our "Marathon Day of Service" is one of three major fundraisers that contribute towards the school's operating budget. The money raised helps us keep tuition affordable, maintain small class sizes, and offer the highest level of academic excellence in a faith-based, nurturing environment. 

Pledges – in exchange for pledge donations, students gather for a school-organized Day of Service on Friday, October 4.  Students can begin collecting pledges Wednesday, September 11 following our all-school kick-off assembly. Students will be given a pledge envelope to keep track of their pledge donations. Envelopes and pledges will be tallied each Tuesday. (see dates below)

Grandparents, parents, friends and neighbors are your students best “prospects” when seeking pledges.
