Padua students, faculty and staff raised $11,194 during our annual Coin Wars competition on Tuesday, December 10, 2019. One-hundred percent of the proceeds will be going to charities, including local homeless shelters, food pantries and many other worthy causes.
During our annual Coin Wars competition, freshmen,
sophomores, juniors, seniors and faculty/staff compete against each other to
raise the most money. It’s an action-packed competition involving the entire
school. Students bring bags full of coins and cash they saved or collected from
loved ones throughout the year. The class who raises the most money for charity
wins! (This year the senior class won!)
Christmas For Others is the largest student-run
fundraiser in Northeast Ohio. It is a program designed to make the holidays
brighter for the less fortunate. Coin Wars is just one of the many events we do
during the month of December. In addition to the $11,194 from Coin Wars, our
school raises an additional $15,000-$20,000 for the needy by holding a
Spaghetti Dinner, plus many other fundraisers. Students also collect thousands
of items (food, clothing, books and toys) for the underprivileged. This year,
donations will be distributed to dozens of worthy causes during our CFO Mass on
Friday, December 20, 2019.
