For more than 20 years, St. Joseph Shamrock has brought school families, staff, parishioners and community members together to celebrate and support St. Joseph School.
Join us starting at 6:00 p.m. at the Radisson Cedar Rapids on Saturday, April 6. The evening will include heavy hors d'oeuvres and drinks, casino games, live music, live and silent auctions, raffles and more.
The event is as much a community builder as it is a fundraiser. All are welcome!
If you're interested in purchasing 50/50 raffle tickets, complete the RSVP form above or contact the school office at 319-377-6348.
Thank you for supporting our school!

This year marks the 24th anniversary of Shamrock! Since its inception, Shamrock has raised over $500,000 for St. Joseph Catholic School.
In recent years, Shamrock proceeds have provided funding for gym renovations, technology upgrades, new windows and carpet, as well as supported field trips and school activities. It is truly because of the generosity of our parishioners, neighbors, school associates and families and the business community that Shamrock is such a success. And that success translates directly into success for the children at our school!

Please be aware of expiration dates on all gift certificates.
All sales are final. No exchanges or refunds.

Casino Games
Bring your poker face this year! There will be blackjack and craps tables, along with Left, Center, Right and Chuck-a-Luck. With your reservation, you’ll receive a cup of chips that can be used at any of the tables. You can also purchase more chips the night of the event if you choose. At the end of the night, the person that turns in the highest chips value will win a prize. All chips carry no cash value.
Heads-or-Tails
Good intuition is all you need. Here’s how to play: All players stand and indicate their choice of heads or tails by placing their hands on their head or “tail.” The host will flip a coin. Those players that guessed correctly will remain standing and those that were incorrect will sit down. The last person standing wins!
50/50 Raffle
50/50 Raffle tickets will be available for purchase in advance from the school office. For $25 you can have a chance at winning half of the pot of money from the tickets sold. The other half goes to St. Joseph Catholic School. Need not be present to win
