OLV Giving Day 2025 Family & Student Toolkit
Chesterton Academy of Our Lady of Victory’s Sixth Annual Giving Day begins on Friday, September 5th, and ends with our Lepanto Festival on Friday, October 3rd, 2025!
Giving Day is our biggest fundraiser, and we ask each family to help us raise $2,000/student. The four houses will compete for top honors and house points, and donors can give under your family name and house. This year, we’re trusting God to help us reach our school-wide goal of $200,000!
Follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates, videos, and a live progress tracker, and mark your calendars for the Lepanto Festival from 5:00 to 8:00 PM on Friday, October 3rd, as we celebrate our incredible OLV community and pay homage to our patroness, Our Lady of Victory.
This page serves as a central hub for Giving Day 2025 resources, including calendars, graphics, phone scripts, and additional materials! Our goal this year is to make Giving Day as seamless and joyful as possible. Please use the resources provided below to begin inviting your friends, family, neighbors, and other connections into our beautiful mission of joyful, classical Catholic education.
Our Lady of Victory, pray for us!
Family & Student Resources
These resources are for OLV families and students. They are designed to make it as easy as possible to participate in Giving Day 2025! Together, we can spread the word and invite others to be part of the extraordinary work God is doing at Chesterton Academy of Our Lady of Victory. These tools will help you invite loved ones into our mission and make fundraising joyful, not daunting.
At the start of Giving Day, Mr. Cooney will also be sharing a private spreadsheet with a list of donations received for your individual family. We will keep these updated daily throughout the four weeks of Giving Day so that you know what donations have been given in your name. This will help you keep track of your own donors in real time so that you can reach out to say “Thank you!”
Multimedia Resources
These resources are designed to help your family share the joy of Chesterton Academy of Our Lady of Victory! Use them on social media, in text messages, or share by email to invite others to discover and join our beautiful mission.
Pro-Tips
Encourage monthly giving. Recurring gifts are important to the continued financial health of the school!
Don’t forget to thank people after they’ve donated! Manners still matter! :)
Don’t stop asking until somebody says “No,” but if they do say no, accept their answer and be polite and generous anyway.
If you have them, use your own social media platforms to spread the word leading up to Giving Day and on Giving Day by sharing OLV’s Facebook and Instagram posts.
Even if you are unable to do all of the above, please share our Giving Day page with as many people as possible: https://www.ourladyofvictorydenver.com/2025-giving-day.
