19 Community Events Raised Over $45,000 for St. Vincent Catholic Charities!

The feeling of being part of something bigger than yourself is one of the best feelings in the world. Every year, there are a multitude of events within the Greater Lansing area that give people the opportunity to experience that feeling. In 2016, people in the Lansing area community had some amazing opportunities to help raise money for St. Vincent Catholic Charities.

Additionally, Jackson National Life Insurance matches the proceeds raised for this incredible event. The golf outing has been benefiting STVCC for over 18 years.

Camino of St. James 8K/5K:

The Camino of St. James 8k/5k Walk & Run has been benefiting STVCC for the past 6 years. As a part of the annual event, participants are rewarded with a breakfast following the race. The run in downtown Mason helps older children find their permanent homes.With the help of 240 participants, over 2,000 dollars was raised this past year.

Partnerships such as these events are a crucial part of fundraising revenue. We are extremely thankful for everyone who hosted a fundraiser in 2016.
