Together, we are helping our students achieve their dreams! 

The Dream Builders Challenge is back, supporting the Edmonton Catholic Schools Foundation and its Dreams for Kids campaign. Last year, our community raised an inspiring $235,406 for this cause, helping create brighter futures for students across Edmonton Catholic Schools.

The Edmonton Catholic Schools Foundation directly impacts students’ lives, supporting their well-being and academic success through breakfast, lunch, and snack programs, mental health assistance, and financial subsidies to make school activities accessible to all. The Foundation also provides grants to help schools purchase extra resources and equipment for their unique programs, allowing every student to reach their fullest potential.

What is the Dream Builders Challenge? 

ECSD schools will each take part in a different fundraising activity to support the Dream for Kids Campaign. The activities range from winter carnivals to pizza lunch sales to movie days. Fundraisers will look different at each school. 

About Edmonton Catholic Schools Foundation 

While our Division works to stretch all available education dollars, additional funds are needed to enhance, establish, or develop initiatives or programs that contribute to the Catholic education of our students. This is where the Edmonton Catholic Schools Foundation comes in! Its sole purpose is to support Edmonton Catholic Schools and our families. We are committed to raising funds to assist school programs!
