District Fundraisers

The RCS Central School District greatly appreciates and acknowledges the many groups that provide resources, opportunities, and support to our students, staff, and schools through fundraising events.

Here is where you can find a list of district-approved fundraisers currently being run by different organizations throughout our schools! Please check back periodically as we will add to the list as events are submitted. This District Fundraisers page is provided as a service to those groups to use for informational purposes only.
