Student Fundraising Campaign

Each student is responsible for raising at least $150, as noted on each family's registration contract. Students primarily raise funds during Better Together by collecting gifts through their network of friends and family, using their individual page on our Better Together Student Campaign giving website. Gifts of any size are welcome. To help your student reach their $150 fundraising requirement, we suggest inviting families to give between $10 and $100 each.

Throughout the two-week campaign, students also participate in fun activities to celebrate our community; brainstorm creative ways to raise money together with teachers and fellow students; and compete in challenges to earn participation points, prizes and class rewards. Prizes and points will be awarded based on the amount of funds each student, class and home room raises, as well as their participation in Better Together Student Campaign activities. Ask your student about the prizes and incentives available.

If you have more than one student at La Salle, every student will be individually required to participate in the process of developing their message and delivering it to friends and family members. However, fundraising results will be counted by overall family results. (Example: If Sibling 1 collects $275 and Sibling 2 collects $40, the family has collected $315 overall and has met their fundraising goal of at least $300 for two students.)

Goals for our Better Together Student Campaign:

• Raise funds to support tuition assistance and student-focused programming during the two-week program.
• Each student raises their required $150 annual fundraising commitment. 
• Students experience the joy that comes from contributing toward a common goal and supporting a Lasallian educational experience.
• The entire school builds community while we share our love of La Salle and participate in some amazing activities.

Funds from the Better Together Student Campaign go directly to support tuition assistance and student programs, benefiting every single student in our school:

• 60% of current La Salle students receive tuition assistance through financial aid, allowing many students and families to be part of our Lasallian community who otherwise could not.
• 100% of students benefit from our vibrant programming such as assemblies, retreats, clubs, service immersions and St. La Salle Day festivities -- experiences that make our school special and enrich the lives of students in powerful and lasting ways.

Students can easily share a direct link to their personal Better Together Student Campaign giving site by text, by email and on their social media profiles. They can include a link to the giving website with a message such as "Please support our student fundraiser at La Salle Prep, my high school, to benefit tuition assistance and student programs. Can you help me reach my $150 goal? Here's the link - thank you!” They can also call or visit with family and friends in person; any cash or checks collected can be turned into their home room teacher or at the front desk of the school. 

We will encourage students to use the online Better Together giving site and their personal giving page to help track and securely process donor contributions.

Alternately, checks can be made out to 'La Salle Prep' and include the student's name in the memo line along with a note that indicates it is for the 'Better Together' campaign. Donations of checks and cash should be turned in in a sealed envelope with the student's name on it to Home room teachers on collection days or mailed to the main office.

All gifts will be tracked for individual student goals, student prizes, and class competition purposes using the name of the student to which the donation was directly attributed.

Yes! The Better Together Student Campaign works in tandem with the Better Together Wreath Sale, held in October 2025. For those students who participated in the wreath sale fundraiser this fall, 50% of wreath and centerpiece sales, 30% of garland, and 30% of UPS wreath sales count toward their $150 fundraising commitment. 

Each student's individual giving website currently lists their Wreath Sale credit, if they sold wreaths or garland this year. If you any questions about the amount listed, please contact Jennifer Reeves.

2026 prizes are to be determined.

We encourage all students to participate fully in the Better Together campaign, including the invitation to give, so they can learn how good it feels to share their appreciation for La Salle, help others, and contribute to a shared goal. However, parents are allowed to pay the requirement in full if they so choose. Students will still be required to participate with their class in student fundraiser community-building activities. We do hope your student can participate in fundraising.
