Lucky Hearts Club

    What is the Lucky Hearts Club?

    The Lucky Hearts Club is a membership club sponsored by the Sacred Heart Cathedral School. It is a fun and simple way to support the activities and capital improvements of the school, with the chance to make a little money for yourself, too!

    Membership entitles each member to a 52-week participation in weekly drawings for cash prizes. Drawings for cash prizes will be made each Monday by blind draw in the school office. On the first Monday of each month, the winner will receive one hundred dollars ($100). On subsequent Mondays, the winner will receive fifty dollars ($50). Names are put back into "the hat" so it is possible to win more than once off of the same ticket.

    How do I become a member of the Lucky Hearts Club?

    $20 memberships can be purchased from students attending the school or from the school office.

    What are the benefits and advantages of the Lucky Hearts Club?

    • Friends and family who live out of town can participate.
    • The potential revenue from this one fund raising activity is very high compared to the effort that is involved.
    • Virtually all “work” is done by the beginning of school but for sure by mid-September.
    • There is only one “visit” to the buyer/supporter, i.e. no order taking followed by deliveries.
    • It is fun and exciting to see who wins each week.

    How do the mechanics of the fundraising activity work?

    • In July, each family with children registered at Sacred Heart Cathedral School for the following fall term will be mailed a set of ten annual memberships. The family is asked to sell at least 8 memberships to maximize the total profit from this fundraising event.
    • Each family that sells all ten of the enclosed memberships will be given a free membership for a chance to win in the 52 weekly drawings.
    • For each additional five memberships sold, the family will receive their choice of $25 worth of SCRIP. (This SCRIP is purchased from the proceeds of the Lucky Hearts membership and does not deter from the SCRIP profits. As a matter of fact, it adds to the SCRIP profits.)
    • On the day of the first drawing, the family that has sold the most memberships will also receive their choice of $100 worth of SCRIP.
    • Additional books of memberships can be picked up at the school office.
    • For each membership sold, please return the left hand side of the ticket and ensure your family name is in the grayed-in section that reads "Official Use:…."
    • Please turn in all monies and memberships, whether sold or unsold, to the school office by the first day of school.
    • Membership entitles each member to participate in 52 weekly drawings for cash prizes.
    • Drawings for cash prizes will be made each Monday by blind draw in the school office.
    • On the first Monday of each month, the winner will receive $100.
    • On subsequent Mondays, the winner will receive $50.
    • Names are put back into "the hat" after each weekly drawing, so it is possible to win more than once off the same ticket.
    • The first drawing will be held on the first Monday of September.

    How much money is made from the Lucky Hearts Membership drive?

    The potential is phenomenal. Let's look at the numbers!

    • It takes only $3,200 (160 memberships) to fund the prize money.
    • That's $100 X 12 months = $1,200
    • Plus $50 X 40 additional weeks/year = $2,000
    • There are currently 178 families at Sacred Heart Cathedral School. If all families sell their eight (8) memberships, the school is guaranteed $25,280 in fundraising revenue (remember $3,200 is given away as cash prizes.)
    • (178 families X 8 memberships X $20.00) - $3,200 = $25,280
    • This amount will vary up or down as the number of families increase or decrease the number of memberships they sell.
