The C.A.R.E. program (Cards Are Rewards for Education) is a parishioner operated St. Columbkille Parish and School fundraiser. Gift cards are purchased by C.A.R.E. at a discount (between 2-20%) and resold at face value. C.A.R.E. retains the discount as profit and returns 100% of money earned to St. Columbkille by funding various school and parish needs.

These are some of our past donations:

• Donation of $2,500 to Pave the Way
• Donation of $950 towards bottle filling drinking fountains for the school
• Donation of $5,000 to purchase new gym lights for the school
• Donation of $1,400 for the Reading Early Intervention Program
• Donation of $4,500 to purchase new security cameras for the school
• Donation of $7,700 to purchase a stained glass window for the church
• Donation of $17,000 to purchase projectors for school classrooms
• Donation of $1,000 to the school for mimeo components
• Donation of $1,000 every year to the Thanksgiving dinners
• Funding of two $1,000 scholarships to 8th graders attending a Catholic high school
• Donations to Fun Lunches, which raised money for the accelerated reader program
• Donations to Teen Faith for meals
• And the list goes on...

For parish school families every dollar spent under $1,000 you earn a CARES Rewards discount of 1% on school tuition or religious education fees. If you spend more than $1,000 you will earn 2%. The C.A.R.E. program is successful only when cards are sold. Please utilize this program at retailers where you are already spending money. It is a win-win!

Gift cards are available for over 500 local and national vendors including restaurants, grocery, home/auto, clothing, specialty stores and entertainment including bowling, movie theaters, and music downloads.

C.A.R.E can be purchased 24 hours a day online; after each weekend Mass in the church foyer; or sent to the school with students during the school year.

Box Tops for Education® is one of the nation’s largest school fundraising loyalty programs and has been helping schools succeed since 1996. With over 240 participating products, it’s an easy way for our school to earn cash for the things we need.
Box Tops is phasing out the labels that you clip and return to the schhol. You can now use the Box Tops app to scan your store receipt, find participating products and instantly add cash to your school's earnings online. From playground equipment to technology to library books, your school can use this money to help teachers and students get the supplies they need.

If you discover a traditional Box Tops clip on a product, you can still clip it and send it to school. Every valid Box Tops clip is still worth 10¢ for your school.
Make sure each one you turn in has a clearly visible product acronym and expiration date.
