Along with 81 other schools, St. Francis raised a combined total of $1.49 million — a new record for the program.
Since January 15, students of St. Francis sold $5 raffle tickets as part of the Catholic Schools Raffle, a fundraising program provided free of charge by sponsor Catholic United Financial since 2009. St. Francis is one of 82 schools in Minnesota and the Dakotas involved in 2021.
