Description

We are a fully accredited, Catholic, non-profit private school in north Knoxville, serving grades Pre-K through 8th. Our school is known for its family atmosphere, welcoming 247 students of diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.  Over 58% of our families receive tuition assistance because we do not refuse families based on their ability to pay.

 

            We hold an annual Mardi Gras-themed Fundraiser for the improvement of all areas of school life – academics, professional development, safety, etc. The event is a fabulous evening organized by our school community, featuring dinner and live and silent auctions and is typically attended by 300 guests.  Because of the pandemic, our event was virtual last year. While the pandemic has been a difficult time for so many, we did find some benefit to having a virtual format, so we have decided to combine a live event with a virtual option this year.

 

            We would greatly appreciate any gift you or your business could make towards our auctions – for example: gift cards, gift certificates, tickets to shows and attractions, dinner cards, items for gift baskets, artwork, etc.  Your donation would greatly impact the students of Saint Joseph School, as this year we will continue renovations on our 65-year-old building.  As part of the donation, we will feature your business in our Mardi Gras virtual event with our school community and you will be acknowledged in our Mardi Gras online auction booklet.

 

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
