Students and staff from St. Mary's worked together to raise over $13,000 to build a school in the Dominican Republic.  Approximately $9,000 was raised through two city wide car washes, our Lenten Penny Drive amounted to approximately $3,000, and the remainder of the money was raised through a huge garage and craft sale and a charity basket-ball game involving St. Mary's students vs. members from the police and the Hamilton Tiger-Cats football team.
Over 200 St. Mary's students participated in a city wide car wash, which raised over $6,000, and had fun doing it
Even though the car wash was free, $6,000 was obtained through pledges and donations.
Approximately $70,000 is needed to build "Santa Maria" in Las Caobas.  Our long term goal is to raise $1 million to maintain the school, provide medical assistance, and to help with other projects in the area.
