The Loyola family joined together on Sept. 23 and raised over $102,400 during its first Flyer Giving Day.
Close to 200 gifts contributed to the day's success from donors that included alumni, faculty, parents, grandparents, board members, and community partners.
“We are truly honored and humbled by the outpouring of support from our Loyola family,” said John LeBlanc, Loyola College Prep Principal. “I am not surprised to see how our community rallied together, but I am overwhelmed with gratitude for their dedication to our school and students.”
For the first Flyer Giving Day, donors could choose where they wanted their dollars to make the greatest impact: Annual Fund, Community Scholarship, or the Chemistry Lab Renovation.
All gifts to the Annual Fund are applied to the school's most pressing needs and benefit current students in all aspects of their educational experience, in addition to providing resources for academic, technological and athletic support.
The Community Scholarship Fund helps supplement families’ financial responsibility beyond what is available from our limited endowment funds. Loyola is committed to providing all academically qualified students a quality education regardless of their ability to pay full tuition.
The school is hoping to begin work to renovate the existing Chemistry Lab this summer that will take the science program at Loyola to a new level.
“Over the past few years of change, the Flyer Family came together like never before, and yesterday was no different,” said LeBlanc. “The success of Flyer Giving Day wouldn’t have happened without the commitment, passion, and dedication to Loyola College Prep from our family.”
