It's nearly quitting time for longtime Equipment and Athletic Fields Managers Bernie and Zac but they’ve got one more job to do—encourage you to make your gift to The St. Christopher’s Fund Day of Giving. A gift of $500 or more will receive an invitation to a dinner party in Bernie’s Shed on June 7, 2023.

Inspired by today's overwhelming support, an anonymous member of the Foundation Board has pledged an additional $50,000 if we can break last year's Day of Giving record of $410,061 raised.

Help us break last year's record by making your gift today in honor of the teacher, coach or mentor whose influence continues to make a difference in your life or that of your son or grandson.

Go Saints!

In celebration of our early success, the next $50,000 donated will be matched dollar for dollar by members of our Board of Governors and our Foundation Board.
