PARTICIPATE IN A FUNDRAISER BENEFITING ST. ELIZABETH
With the cancellation of this year’s Jazz Festival, St. Elizabeth needs your help in raising the funds the parish receives from our music festival. You can raise money for the church by selling gourmet popcorn to your friends, family & co-workers — virtually. There is no paperwork, no cash to collect, and the popcorn is shipped right to the customer. Proceeds from each popcorn sold will benefit St. Elizabeth. The fundraiser is a short FOUR DAYS: Wednesday, September 8 – Sunday, September 12. Using your smartphone, you will text a link to purchase the popcorn to your friends and family. That is it! Visit our website for more information.
