Collective Campaigns

The festival is our biggest weekend of the year — food booths, the raffle, live music on the lawn, and the school's famous cake walk. Local businesses can sponsor a booth; parishioners can donate raffle prizes. All are welcome, Catholic or not — bring your neighbors.

Demand

$12,000 net proceeds split: pantry 60% / roof fund 40%.

Value to counterparty

Local business sponsorships plus parishioner raffle donations.

Alternatives (BATNA)

Without sponsorships, festival proceeds fall short of both funds.

Donations always dip in summer, but hunger doesn't take a vacation — the pantry serves 120 families every week, and more when school lunches stop. Most-needed: peanut butter, canned tuna, pasta, and diapers sizes 4-6. Drop boxes at every entrance; the SVdP crew sorts Thursdays.

Demand

2,000 shelf-stable items before school starts.

Value to counterparty

Drop boxes at every entrance, SVdP crew sorts weekly.

Alternatives (BATNA)

Summer donation dip leaves the pantry short as need rises.

The structural inspection found water damage over the north transept, and the organ pipes sit right below it. The parish council has approved three special second collections plus a grant application to the diocese. Every generation of St. Brendan's has kept this roof over the next one's head — now it's our turn.

Demand

$28,000 to repair the north transept roof before winter.

Value to counterparty

Three special collections plus a diocesan grant application.

Alternatives (BATNA)

Water damage worsens and threatens the organ pipes below.
