ROCORI School Fundraising Scam

(Learfield News/Cold Spring, MN) — ROCORI Area Schools warn area businesses about a scam involving homecoming t-shirts.

The scam involves a person calling businesses about collecting donations for t-shirts to be thrown into the crowd at ROCORI’s homecoming events.

The caller uses the name of a student activity advisor to appear to be legitimate.

The district says they never use third-party services or outside individuals to solicit funds, and if there is ever a fundraiser connected to ROCORI schools, people would hear directly from students, teachers, coaches, or staff.

They say if anyone receives a fundraising request and isn’t sure of its legitimacy, they should contact the district office.
