Annual Fund | All Year
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Annual Fund this year. Your generosity directly supports our students’ education, from academics to extracurricular activities, and helps bridge the gap between tuition and the true cost of education. A special thanks to those who participated in Giving Tuesday, helping us reach the $10,000 match goal set by a generous SGS family. While we’ve made great strides, additional support is still needed to continue enriching the experiences we offer our students. We invite you to consider making a gift and further strengthening our community. Learn how you can give on our Annual Fund page.
We are filled with pride and gratitude for the remarkable achievements of our students and the incredible support of our community. Thank you to all who contribute to the success and vibrancy of Saint Gregory’s. We are excited for the year ahead and the opportunities it holds.
