The administration and Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) group plan and organize fundraisers that are necessary to carry out the mission of our school. There are a variety of opportunities available to be involved and every member of the PacPoint community is invited to join in! Each year the School holds three major fundraisers. It takes considerable effort on the part of many individuals to help raise funds so that PacPoint can maintain its quest for excellence and private school affordability for local families. The commitment of our families, friends, local businesses and community foundations provide us the resources for today’s needs as well as ensuring our school’s success in the future.
Fall Fundraiser
Typically an “-athon”, the Fall Fundraiser is a school-wide fundraiser where student participants raise money by collecting donations or pledges for reading books, knocking down bowling pins or walking laps. In years past, the purpose of the Fall Fundraiser has been to raise funds to start a technology/media center, build playgrounds improve safety at PacPoint. The walk-a-thon had the added benefits of building awareness among students about the importance of health and physical fitness. The read-a-thon encouraged students to start out the school year with an emphasis on reading. This fundraiser involves all students, staff and parent volunteers. By meeting the school-wide fundraising goal, students typically earn “Spirit Week” – a week of special themed free dress days.
Spring Fundraiser
The spring fundraiser is by and large PacPoint’s largest fundraiser of the year. In the past, the school has held large “Gala” events that included a formal dinner, dance, dessert dash and silent/live/online auctions for adults in our community. Family participation is encouraged in attendance and volunteerism!
Fireworks Booth
As long as the City of Gilroy agrees, Pac Point will open its annual fireworks booth to sell “Safe and Sane” fireworks to the Gilroy community. Our fireworks booth is located at 303 10th Street in the Gilroy Motorcycle parking lot. The booth is open daily from 9:00 am to 9:30 pm from July 1st through July 4th. We always need help staffing our booth! We offer Double HIS hours when you volunteer on the 3rd and Triple HIS hours on the 4th.
These fundraisers are one of the many great ways to earn H.I.S. hours!
Pac Point earns money when you shop through the following retailers:

This option is a great way to honor a teacher or friend while supporting the school at the same time. You can designate an honoree by emailing us at businessoffice@pacpoint.org. A special card will be sent to the family of the individual being honored, announcing that a gift was made to the school in their honor (omitting the amount of the gift).
As tuition alone does not cover all the costs incurred to the school district, Pacific Point seeks funds to support and strengthen its existing programs. Family participation is a key to the success of these events in order to keep tuition and fees from soaring. Thank you in advance for your investment in the mission of building a firm foundation through Christ-centered education. Your gifts, no matter the size, will make an eternal difference in the mind, heart, and future of each student at PacPoint!
