DeSales Catholic School is thrilled to be participating in the Catholic Alumni Partnership (CAP). CAP is a new, privately funded effort in support of Catholic elementary schools. A pioneering undertaking, CAP aims to implement strong, sustainable annual fundraising programs for each of the Catholic elementary schools participating in CAP, with alumni support as its foundation.
Today, the Catholic Alumni Partnership includes :
7 dioceses and archdioceses in New York and Connecticut
303 schools
100,000 elementary school students
Through CAP and the Foundation for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Buffalo, we can now offer DeSales supporters access to a secure online donation portal. Just click on the icon below, and when asked for "My Catholic School" choose DESALES CATHOLIC. Rest assured that through the generosity of CAP's benefactor, every penny of your online donation will support the students at DeSales!
In spite of their strong history of excellence, Catholic schools today are faced with tremendous challenges. While our students excel academically, Catholic elementary schools like DeSales are straining under enormous financial pressures. Dwindling populations, depressed economic times and rising operating costs are just a few of the hurdles we are facing.
Please go to www.clickyes.com and register your support for DeSales. I am sure you have wonderful memories of your Catholic elementary school education. We are very interested in hearing from you. We are hoping to have more alumni reunions and could really use your help to contact classmates. We also would like to share your stories on our website and our Facebook page. So please tell us about you!
As alumni and friends of DeSales you may be interested in supporting the CAP mission. If you cannot make a financial contribution at this time, there are other ways you can help. Do you have a skill you are interested in sharing with our students? Do you have spare time to volunteer at DeSales? Would you like to attend one of our special events?
Whether you graduated from St. Pat's, St. Mary's, St. John's, Lockport Catholic, DeSales, or another Catholic Elementary School, we welcome your input and would love to talk with you. Please call (716) 433-4870 or email me at rothe@desalescatholicschool.org. Help us to continue our legacy of educational excellence in Niagara and Orleans counties.
