1. Ozaukee Christian School volunteers
stage exceptional
Apple Pie Fundraiser Event
• 100% of our K-8 families
volunteered, sold pies
and helped make them.
• 37% of our pie-making
volunteers came from
outside our school
family (public high
school service clubs,
Kohl’s, churches, friends
and neighbors).
Everything has to be sanitized
ahead of time!

2. What did our volunteers do to accomplish our
four-day Apple Pie Event?
• Folded boxes.
• Mixed & stored topping.

5. The Committee is the key!
• 19 dedicated “super”
volunteers coordinated all the
key sub-committees: Co-chair,
kitchen, marketing, ordering,
assembly floor, bookkeepers,
scheduling, underwriters,
refreshment room, mailing,
childcare, pick-up day, logistics
and clean-up crew.
• These volunteers bring not
only life skills but a Christian
attitude of joy and serving to
our event. This event is FUN!
• Our school is independent and
non-denominational. The
Body of Christ works well at
OCS!!!
Making the pies

6. See the great work God’s people are
doing?
183 volunteers served God at OCS to
make nearly 4,000 apple pies. “’Let the
little children come to Me,’ Jesus said,
‘and do not hinder them.’” (Mt. 19:14)

7. Apple Pie Event Importance to our
Bottom Line
• On our first apple pie day in 2006 we made 1,100
pies and netted $8,082 for our school!
• On apple pie day in 2013 we made 3,940 pies and
netted $47,135 for our school!
• Without the dedication, commitment and
enthusiasm of volunteers over the past seven
years these proceeds (that go directly to our
general fund) would not occur. This has an
unquestionable positive impact to all OCS
students!
• Next year…4,500 pies!!! 

8. Underwriting crucial to net income
• The Committee Volunteers help create a list of
possible underwriters.
• The past three years we have had the costs of our
pies COMPLETELY underwritten by generous
people and businesses in our community. Nearly
100% of all pie sales is sown right back into the
program for our students!
• An local ice cream company, Cedar Crest, has
yearly donated a freezer truck and company
space to freeze the pies!

9. Apple Pie Dreamin’
Should our volunteerism
through our Apple Pie Event
secure a grant, we would
prayerfully begin to build a
program that enables special
needs children to be a part of
Ozaukee Christian School. A
Bible-based, Christian
education is currently not
available to special needs
children within a radius of
approximately 40 miles. We
believe that all children are
created in His image and we
seek to meet their educational
and spiritual needs!
