CC Annual Appeal

Dear Alumni and Friends,

Each year, the Central Catholic High School's Annual Giving Campaign appeals to Alumni and Friends for support that makes a difference in the lives of our students. Annual Giving focuses on acquiring yearly contributions to fill the gap between what is needed and what is actually generated from tuition. While endowed funds are invested for a specific purpose in perpetuity, Annual Giving plays a vital part in the annual operation and success of our school.  In fiscal year 2009 (July 1, 2009 -June 30, 2010) the Annual Fund is working toward a goal of $50,000 in gifts.  Central Catholic High School, like all private high schools, depends on the support of individuals, businesses, organizations, and foundations for support. Gifts of time, talent, and treasure are each equally important to the success and growth of Central Catholic. We hope that you will consider supporting CC’s mission: To pursue excellence in Catholic education.

Why Give?

• Your gift helps us attract and retain the most promising students.
• Your gift helps these promising students fulfill their dreams of obtaining a quality education.
• Your gift supports faculty development so faculty may pursue new ideas and strengthen their teaching expertise.
• Your gift helps us provide first-rate technology and facilities so our graduates are better prepared to enter the collegiate ranks.

Does your gift really matter?

Yes! Every gift is important! The Annual Giving Campaign is not a campaign targeted to just a few wealthy donors. We need the investment of all Alumni and Friends in order to succeed. Every dollar counts! You can increase your contribution, at no additional cost, by checking with your employer to see if they will match charitable gifts. If so, obtain a form from them, fill it out and return it with your gift. We'll take care of the rest.         

Ways to give to Central Catholic
There are many ways to support Central Catholic, including gifts of time, talent, and treasure. You can give of your time by volunteering at the school by contacting the Advancement Office. Opportunities abound, so sign up today! If you have skills, knowledge, or expertise in areas such as finance, law, leadership, graphic design, or other areas, you can make a gift of talent. Lastly, we depend on gifts of treasure to continue our tradition of excellence. Throughout the year we have several events that help to generate revenue, please consider joining us in our effort.

Sincerely,

“Catholic education has allowed me to flourish as a practicing Catholic, hard-working student, avid athlete, and loving sister and friend.  I know how blessed I have been to have received such an incredible education.  As I finish up my senior year, I wish to leave you with one final thought: CC is not just a high school; it is a Catholic community that has provided me with an education, not only in school work, but also in love, dedication, and faith in our God.”
