As we kick off this year’s Annual Appeal to “Fund a Griffin,” we would like you to prayerfully consider making a donation to this year’s appeal as a one-time gift or recurring monthly support. We need your help to “close the gap” and reach this year’s goal of $90,000.
With this year’s appeal, we are working to “close the gap” between the cost of tuition and the actual cost to educate a student at Father McGivney Catholic High School, which is approximately $1899 per student. Without a strong Annual Appeal, tuition would cost a few thousand dollars more per student and would no doubt significantly impact our ability to insure that all students receive a Catholic education at FMCHS, regardless of their economic status.
Your gift to McGivney makes a difference for our students. During the past year, it has been a joy witnessing our students excel academically, participate in many extracurricular activities, compete in athletic events, serve our community, and most importantly grow in their faith and love of Christ. Our students continue to accomplish great things. Last year, our students gave 8,700 hours of service in the community, our local parishes and our school. Eleven of our 61 seniors were honored to be named Illinois State Scholars, and 33 of our athletes were named to all-conference teams. Our Class of 2024 was admitted to colleges and universities across the country, including University of Notre Dame, Saint Louis University, University of Illinois, Washington University, Fashion Institute of New York, Ave Maria University and Mississippi State University to name a few. These accomplishments would not be possible without your faithful prayers and generous financial support. Thank you!
Every student benefits from the funds raised with the Annual Appeal. Please prayerfully consider making a gift this year and know that myself and the students, staff and faculty of Father McGivney Catholic High School continue to include you in our prayers of gratitude, and as always…It’s great to be a Griffin!
