Penn! When you place an order through the fundraiser page, choose "St. Eugene Catholic School PTO" as your shipping option. This will ensure that we can keep track of all the money WE make! That drop down menu shows up right before the payment page. Unfortunately everything has to be shipped and can't be picked up at the store. One less errand for us to run. Win/Win tp save yourself time and help earn our school some money!

Upcoming Eat & Earns - Always mention St. Eugene when you order so we get a donation back to the school. Thank you, and don’t forget to spread the word to family and friends! Have an idea for an Eat and Earn or school fundraiser? Email us at pto@steugeneschool.org!
