THANK YOU 2024-2025 BELLARMINE BUSINESS PARTNERS

As many of you know, I have been in the school fundraising game for over 12 years now. It started in Alaska in 2012, on Riley's first day of third grade. Then in January of 2020, I joined Bellarmine to work on the Annual Gala, where Riley attended high school. He graduated in 2022, and I am still working there because I love the school, and the way it prepares the students for college and life. Riley is the perfect example of this. 

This year, as the 2025 Bellarmine Gala approaches soon, I ask you to consider donating to the school's Tuition Assistance Program. I always wonder how many of Riley's friends wouldn't have been there if they didn't receive the critical funds needed to attend. Every dollar counts towards our overall goal of $500,000!

Thank you so much for your consideration.

"It's for the children!" - Karin

 


 Bellarmine Tuition Assistance Program
providing access to Catholic, Jesuit education

“Bellarmine has given me so many opportunities. Every day I walk into Bellarmine excited...Thank you for believing in us.”  Current Bellarmine student

The annual Bellarmine Gala, our flagship fundraising event, is essential to supporting Bellarmine's Tuition Assistance Program. Over the past five years alone, the event has raised $4.2 million, including a record $1.1 million in 2024. This year, 45% of our student body benefits from tuition assistance, with a total of nearly $3.1 million in aid distributed, ensuring a Bellarmine education remains accessible. Guided by our Catholic, Jesuit mission, Bellarmine offers a holistic, transformative educational experience. Thank you for supporting this vital work through your support of the Bellarmine Gala.

We aim to raise over $500,000 for tuition assistance through Fund a Need to continue providing vital access to a Bellarmine education. Please join us in our shared mission – together we can Ignite Futures.
