Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
The Annual Giving Program at Guelph Community Christian School encompasses three core fundraising initiatives: the Walk-a-thon, the Fall Fund Drive, and the Golf Tournament. These programs accept donations of all shapes and sizes and raise over $100,000 per year cumulatively for the School’s operating budget and as well as student bursaries.
The Walk-a-thon is an annual student fundraiser that happens each year. GCCS students collect sponsorship donations to encourage them to walk for a pre-determined distance at the Walk-a-thon event.
The Fall Fund Drive is an annual mail/call program which involves approximately 15 current parents who call over 300 previous donors to GCCS for annual contributions. The calling program runs from Thanksgiving Weekend to the first week of December and raises over $50,000 annually for the general operating fund. Donations are received from parents, grandparents, alumni and friends of GCCS.
For the past four years we have hosted an annual Golf Tournament. This event has been combined with a dinner and auction. Collectively they raise about $40,000 which supports the bursary program which seeks to make enrolment at GCCS possible for families who might not otherwise be able to enrol due to the cost of tuition. The Golf Tournament is held during the first week of June at Springfield Golf & Country Club. The date of the 2024 Golf Tournament will be announced in the Fall.
