     The In-Person Collection raised $2806 on September 17-19. This total includes $425 collected after the Masses at St. Irene Church.  To those who participated, congratulations on a job well done.

     Direct Donations to date total $1430 which includes $500 from the Ladies Auxiliary and $930 from individuals.

     Total Funds raised to date are $6386.  More is yet to come!  Donations to the GoFundMe and direct payments by check are welcome.  Thanks to everyone who volunteered to make the drive successful.  The final amount collected and volunteer list will be announced in the November newsletter.  This will be the amount reported to the State for later distribution. 

     Half the money raised will be donated to the Cupertino Group Home located in Warrenville (a Clare Woods Academy operated facility, Carol Stream). The remaining half will be split between Western DuPage Special Recreation Association , Special Camps for Special People of Winfield, and Illinois Knights of Columbus Charities, Inc. All 100% of the funds we receive from this GoFundMe drive and direct payments go to support these organizations. Except for the cost of the candy, 100% of the money raised from the in-person collection is donated to the designated organizations.
