1 Day for the Knights

Join us on January 24, 2025 for our sixth 1 Day for the Knights.  One Day is our version of #GivingTuesday commemorating St. Francis de Sales feast day.  Over the past five years SFS has raised over $750,000 during 1 Day.  We are asking each class to raise double their year. (ex: $1992+1992= $3984) and some classes are already out to a good start.  If every class hits that goal we will make to $1,000,000 raised for 1 Say in just six years!

Bonus win-win situation this year for Ohio Residents: If you live in Ohio or pay Ohio taxes, St. Francis de Sales is now a state-verified Scholarship Granting Organization or SGO.  Meaning you can receive a dollar for dollar state of Ohio tax credit up to $1500 (filing jointly).  This can be used for 1 Day and count towards your state of Ohio taxes and YES it can be used for 2024 taxes!  If you have any questions please email me at dzawisza@sfsknights.org  (Ohio Revised Code 5747.73)

Last year we raised over $ 200,000 and had 650+ donors.  We also saw Knights from every class from 1958-2022 help our current and future Knights.  The Class of 1975 won the Dick Mattingly "Ratch Cup" for the class that raised the most money raised by Class and the Sue Conrad Certificate of Excellence will be for the Class with the most participants **New Award** - Dick Cromwell Comeback Award: Class with the most improved class participation 

We are asking for your help this year by:

  1. Making your gift today to 1 Day for the Knights
  2. Spreading the word through social media via X (the artist formally known as Twitter), Facebook TikTok SnapChat and Instagram. 
  3. Contact your fellow Knights directly and ask them to help

Please help us achieve our philanthropic goals.. Your gift will help provide a transformative experience for many young men as they develop leadership skills, while receiving an education in the spirit of our Patron Saint, St. Francis de Sales. 

St. Francis de Sales…Pray for us.
