San Antonio (CLI)—Friday, Jan. 28 is the final day to purchase tickets for the 15th annual Catholic Schools Sweepstakes, sponsored by Catholic Life Insurance.
Four Catholic Schools in the Diocese of Amarillo are participating in the sweepstakes: • Holy Cross Catholic Academy and St. Joseph School, both in Amarillo; • St. Anthony of Padua School, Dalhart; and, • St. Anthony School, Hereford.
Holy Cross students ended ticket sales on Nov. 29. Students at the other three schools are selling tickets, at $5.00 each.
Holy Cross students sold more than $55,000 in tickets during the last sweepstakes earlier this year, which was second most among ticket sales. HCCA has been participating in the program since 2013 and have raised a total of $388,000.
The Grand Prize in the sweepstakes is the choice of a 2022 Ford F-150 Truck, a 2022 Ford Focus Sedan or a $20,000 pre-Paid VISA Credit Card. Each participating school is also guaranteed to have a winner of a $1,000 Pre-Paid VISA Credit Card. It is possible to win both the $1,000 VISA Card and the Grand Prize.
Since its beginning in 2007, Catholic Schools have raised over $11 million, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the schools. San Antonio-based Catholic Life Insurance provides all the prizes, marketing material and printing. Proceeds raised by the participating schools can be used in the manner they choose. Examples include the purchase of computer equipment, textbooks, necessary school repairs and tuition assistance.
