Student Fundraiser

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 - THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22

The Student Fundraiser is our annual student-led school fundraiser that highlights and supports our vibrant community. In 2026, each student is asked to raise $200 through their extended network of family and friends to contribute to our school-wide goal of $100,000. This may seem like a huge goal, but through individual efforts, we can make a BIG impact. That's why the fundraiser's theme this year is "We Glow Together." When St. Mary's students work as a team, they shine bright!

The Student Fundraiser is a learning opportunity, teaching young people about the power of philanthropy. Funds raised through the Student Fundraiser support the entire SMA community, benefiting academics, extra-curricular activities, tuition assistance, and more.

The fundraiser culminates with the Spirit Walk on Thursday, October 22, where we'll celebrate across the Willamette River and back.
