The Goal Broken Down: How 20 Students Can Reach $6,700 for Abbey Youth Fest

Spring is approaching fast, and our Catholic Youth Group is gearing up for Abbey Youth Fest! This conference offers an incredible opportunity for spiritual growth, fellowship, and dynamic worship, but getting all 20 of our students there takes teamwork and clear action.

Because registration, travel, and lodging costs must be covered for every participant, any portion of the trip not raised through our campaign will need to be paid out-of-pocket by parents or guardians. Our goal with Fiat Fundraising (stthomasmoreyouth.fiatfundraising.com) is to make sure every single teen raises enough community support so that families don't have to cover the difference out of pocket.

Here is what the trip numbers look like when we break them down:

• Overall Group Need: $6,700
• Group Size: 20 Students
• Individual Goal: $335 per student ($670 in sales)
• Deadline: Sunday night, 11:59pm

Reaching $335 per student is completely manageable when approached step-by-step. Since everyone is already set up and familiar with the platform, the key now is sharing our campaign link and making sure supporters know how to credit our teens.

How Supporters Credit Their Student

1. Share the Campaign Link: Send our group's campaign link directly to family, friends, godparents, neighbors, and parishioners via text, email, or social media.
2. Enter the Student's Name at Checkout: Remind supporters that when they check out on stthomasmore.fiatfundraising.com, they simply need to type the student's name into the designated field. 
3. Track Remaining Balances: Keep an eye on your student's progress to see how close they are to clearing their $335 target before the end of the fundraiser.

Quick Daily Target

To hit $670 by Sunday night, aim for about $95–$100 in sales per day (e.g., getting 2–3 family members to buy items each day).
