ST. MARY'S CATHOLIC SCHOOL
ANNUAL DINNER & AUCTION
Stueckle Sky Center
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4 AT 5:30 PM
COCKTAIL ATTIRE

WWW. SWEETHEARTSOIREE.AFROGS.ORG
Dear St. Mary’s Families,
This year’s Dinner & Auction will be held on Saturday, February 4, 2023, at Stueckle Sky Center. You are encouraged to
invite family, friends, neighbors, coworkers – anyone who would like to enjoy an incredible evening while also
supporting our school!
Major fundraising efforts such as the Sweetheart Soirée allow St. Mary’s Catholic School to off-set tuition and contain
costs, while offering a superior education at one of the lowest parochial school tuition rates in the Treasure Valley. This
year’s event proceeds will assist the school to cover the cost of daily operations, fund scholarships and complete a much-
needed renovation of the building’s aged restroom facilities.
Here’s how YOU can help us achieve our $125,000 goal:
• FAMILY INVOLVEMENT IS CRITICAL
We need you to be generous with your donation of time, talent and treasure. Each family must:
1. Volunteer a minimum of five (5) hours for the Dinner & Auction (or major fundraising event); OR
2. Make a minimum monetary donation of $125 (5 hours @ $25 each); OR
3. Donate an item/service with a minimum value of $125; OR
4. Combine any of the options above to complete the 5 hour/$125 requirement.
• DONATE BY MONDAY, JANUARY 23
To get your creativity flowing, we have provided a list of suggested donations on the back of this letter. Your
donation qualifies for the Idaho Education Tax Credit. To make your tax-deductible donation, please complete
and return the enclosed donor agreement form with your contribution to the school office by Monday, January 23.
∗ STUDENT PRIZES FOR DONATIONS
