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 are not sure of its legitimacy, they should contact the district office at 320-685-4900.
