#SJPicnic Fundraising Campaign

For 171 years, St. Joe’s has relied upon the support of volunteers to make every Picnic a success. Although this year’s Picnic looks very different than events of the past, you can still volunteer to help St. Joe’s kids by registering yourself or group to be a #SJPicnic fundraiser. Participants have the chance to win fun prizes by competing to see who raises the most funds for St. Joe’s kids!

August 5th

Cake Booth Virtual Trivia Night

Time: 6 pm (EST)

Location: Zoom link provided upon entry

Just because there isn’t a physical Cake Booth this year, doesn’t mean we can’t have fun virtually! It’s just like an in-person Trivia Night, but played over Zoom. A team can be 1-5 people. Not all team members need to be in the same location as each team is given a maximum of two log-ins. Prizes include:

1st Place – Summer Party Pack from Heitzman’s Bakery – Value $100

2nd Place – Specialty Cake from Plehns

3rd Place – A 3-pack Tower from Nothing Bundt Cakes
