For the first time the Bishop Kearney Key Club organized a fundraiser which we like to call Feed a Family This fundraiser collected money to support the Open Door Mission Feed a Family was a competition between SAP (Student Activity Period) rooms to see which room could collect the most money for the fundraiser The SAP room that collected the most money was rewarded with a formal Thanksgiving lunch and early dismissal after the lunch The Distillery donated two fresh turkeys and the entire Thanksgiving meal was prepared by Keenanrsquos Restaurant The goal for Feed a Family was set at $100000 At the school-wide assembly that kicked off the fundraiser Mr Miller the Bishop Kearney Dean of Students promised students a dress down day if the goal was exceeded We were surprised to see how involved and generous students were For this reason we raised more than double the amount of our original goal Students were donating large sums of money not even worrying about if they won the Thanksgiving lunch or not Students donated out of pure generosity The total amount raised in the Feed a Family fundraiser which was donated to the Open Door Mission was an amazing $257500 Since the total raised far exceeded that of our original goal Mr Miller not only awarded Bishop Kearney students with a dress down day but also a sneaker week During sneaker week students will be able to wear any shoes with their normal uniform rather than the regular dress shoes Feed a Family marks the most successful fundraiser that the Bishop Kearney Key Club has ever had So successful that Michael Hennessy Open Door Mission Executive Direction and Chris Scribani Director of Development and Communications visited Bishop Kearney to thank the school Giuliana Pietrantoni Bishop Kearney Key Club President and Christine Reiss Key Club Editor presented the check to the representatives from the Open Door Mission on the Bishop Kearney morning news broadcast Presentation of the check to Open Door Mission representative was also covered by WHEC channel 10 local news station The money donated to the Open Door Mission was used to feed over 5000 people Thanksgiving dinner this Thanksgiving The success of this fundraiser is thanks to the Feed a Family committee of Bishop Kearney Key Club members who collected money from SAP rooms counted and recorded totals for each room made posters and encouraged students to contribute The Bishop Kearney Key Club plans to organize this fundraiser annually for many years to come

For the past two years the Bishop Kearney Key Club has organized a fundraiser that we named Pink Passion This fundraiser raises money to support BCCR (Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester) This is one our Key Clubrsquos bigger fundraisers Each year it is a success it raising money to donate to BCCR

There are multiple activities that collect money for Pink Passion The main part of Pink Passion is a school dress down day On this day students donate $3 in order to dress down wearing something pink and $5 to dress down wearing something that is not pink Each student that paid to dress down receives a pink breast cancer sticker so that teacher can make sure that all students contributed to dress down

In addition to the dress down day baked goods are also sold during student lunches Key Club members bring in fresh baked goods which are sold to the students All of the proceeds raised from the baked goods sale are contributed to Pink Passion

Something new to Pink Passion this year was the sale of raffle tickets and guess how much candy is in the jar Students were able to purchase raffle tickets to win prizes The prizes for the raffle were donated by one of our Key Club members Raffle prizes included a Vera Bradley wristlet and two pink pashminas Students were also able to purchase ldquoguess cardsrdquo to guess how many pink MampMrsquos were in one of two jars The students whose guess was closest to the actual number of MampMrsquos were in the jar was rewarded with the entire jar of candy This year Pink Passion raised a total of $100000 which was donated to BCCR Each year Pink Passion is the first fundraiser organized by the Bishop Kearney Key Club and is a great way to kick off a new Key Club year The success of Pink Passion was thanks to Key Club members in the Pink Passion committee who made posters sold baked goods made baked goods and decorated the school hallways Next year we hope to make Pink Passion an even bigger success and find new ways to collect donations

For the first time the Bishop Kearney Key Club organized a fundraiser which we like to call Feed a Family This fundraiser collected money to support the Open Door Mission Feed a Family was a competition between SAP (Student Activity Period) rooms to see which room could collect the most money for the fundraiser The SAP room that collected the most money was rewarded with a formal Thanksgiving lunch and early dismissal after the lunch The Distillery donated two fresh turkeys and the entire Thanksgiving meal was prepared by Keenanrsquos Restaurant The goal for Feed a Family was set at $100000 At the school-wide assembly that kicked off the fundraiser Mr Miller the Bishop Kearney Dean of Students promised students a dress down day if the goal was exceeded We were surprised to see how involved and generous students were For this reason we raised more than double the amount of our original goal Students were donating large sums of money not even worrying about if they won the Thanksgiving lunch or not Students donated out of pure generosity The total amount raised in the Feed a Family fundraiser which was donated to the Open Door Mission was an amazing $257500 Since the total raised far exceeded that of our original goal Mr Miller not only awarded Bishop Kearney students with a dress down day but also a sneaker week During sneaker week students will be able to wear any shoes with their normal uniform rather than the regular dress shoes Feed a Family marks the most successful fundraiser that the Bishop Kearney Key Club has ever had So successful that Michael Hennessy Open Door Mission Executive Direction and Chris Scribani Director of Development and Communications visited Bishop Kearney to thank the school Giuliana Pietrantoni Bishop Kearney Key Club President and Christine Reiss Key Club Editor presented the check to the representatives from the Open Door Mission on the Bishop Kearney morning news broadcast Presentation of the check to Open Door Mission representative was also covered by WHEC channel 10 local news station The money donated to the Open Door Mission was used to feed over 5000 people Thanksgiving dinner this Thanksgiving The success of this fundraiser is thanks to the Feed a Family committee of Bishop Kearney Key Club members who collected money from SAP rooms counted and recorded totals for each room made posters and encouraged students to contribute The Bishop Kearney Key Club plans to organize this fundraiser annually for many years to come

For the past two years the Bishop Kearney Key Club has organized a fundraiser that we named Pink Passion This fundraiser raises money to support BCCR (Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester) This is one our Key Clubrsquos bigger fundraisers Each year it is a success it raising money to donate to BCCR

There are multiple activities that collect money for Pink Passion The main part of Pink Passion is a school dress down day On this day students donate $3 in order to dress down wearing something pink and $5 to dress down wearing something that is not pink Each student that paid to dress down receives a pink breast cancer sticker so that teacher can make sure that all students contributed to dress down

In addition to the dress down day baked goods are also sold during student lunches Key Club members bring in fresh baked goods which are sold to the students All of the proceeds raised from the baked goods sale are contributed to Pink Passion

Something new to Pink Passion this year was the sale of raffle tickets and guess how much candy is in the jar Students were able to purchase raffle tickets to win prizes The prizes for the raffle were donated by one of our Key Club members Raffle prizes included a Vera Bradley wristlet and two pink pashminas Students were also able to purchase ldquoguess cardsrdquo to guess how many pink MampMrsquos were in one of two jars The students whose guess was closest to the actual number of MampMrsquos were in the jar was rewarded with the entire jar of candy This year Pink Passion raised a total of $100000 which was donated to BCCR Each year Pink Passion is the first fundraiser organized by the Bishop Kearney Key Club and is a great way to kick off a new Key Club year The success of Pink Passion was thanks to Key Club members in the Pink Passion committee who made posters sold baked goods made baked goods and decorated the school hallways Next year we hope to make Pink Passion an even bigger success and find new ways to collect donations
