What is Give BIG! St. Helena?

Give BIG! St. Helena is an annual parent-led social fundraising campaign benefiting St. Helena’s public schools.

While we raise funds for our schools throughout the year our main fundraising focus is during the month of March. In March we seek the support of students, alumni, parents, teachers, staff, other relatives, community members and local businesses to help raise funds for this important effort. Everyone can participate, with donations of $10, $250, $2500 or whatever you are able to give – every donation helps!

Why is this money needed?

St. Helena’s public schools strive to provide the highest quality education and be the schools of choice for St. Helena’s residents. To meet this goal, supplemental funds are needed to enhance the curriculum, pay for arts programs, support innovative educational programs, cover the cost of field trips and other special events and activities, and more.
