In these times of ever-increasing costs, the School Advisory Committee recognized and is meeting a need to focus specifically on increasing revenue sources for Saint Bernard School to help stabilize tuition increases and preserve the quality of Catholic Education. With this, the Fundraising Subcommittee has been created to play a vital role in funding the operations of the school. The goal of the committee is to generate a steady, reliable income stream through fundraising activities to assist with the financial support of the school. Included below is a list or projects either being researched or produced currently by the committee. If you have any expertise in any of the following areas or are just interested in becoming involved in this challenging and exciting committee, please contact one of the committee co-chairs: Stephanie Lackner at 412-654-7444 or stephanie.lackner@verizon.net; Eric Schorr at 412-341-6772 or ecschorr@aol.com, or the person listed below.

Please contact Stephanie or Eric.
n Scrip (Gift Card) Tuition Reduction Program – The Scrip program has been blessed with success by families interested in reducing their individual tuition burden through this merchandise credit program. As the holidays approach, we need people interested in developing a campaign to business people and families to create sales from holiday gifts purchased through our program. We also need people willing to help with holiday sales and order fulfillment. Please contact Nancy Mallon at 412-561-0833 or Stephanie Lackner.
