Camden Catholic High School hoped to raise $50,000 during its first one-day giving event, based on a theme of the school's Irish roots and held on St. Patrick's Day. The luck of the Irish was with organizers, who reached that goal by early afternoon and went on to raise $63,302 by day's end. The school turned to alumni and current students and their parents about three weeks before the event. It collected "Irish Giving Day" donations through the annual alumni newsletter and letters to donors, in addition to phone and online donations. Irish "Giving Day" Thank You.htt p://bit.ly/1aqpy3e
