CLASS OF 2013 LEADS LEGACY & PROMISE ANNUAL FUND CAMPAIGN

This message is a reminder about La Reina’s Legacy & Promise annual fund campaign.  This fund helps to close the $1,900 gap between the tuition and the actual cost-to-educate each student.

Last May, parents received an appeal and pledge form.  We are very grateful to those who have already donated.  The current class participation rates are:

Class of 2013 – 34%

Class of 2016 – 32%
Class of 2011 – 31%
Class of 2014 – 26%
Class of 2015 – 25%
Class of 2012 – 19%

Our current goal is to have the highest possible percentage of parent participation in this campaign!   During the weeks of March 14 and 21, parent volunteers will be conducting a Legacy & Promise phone-a-thon to help us reach our goals.  A 100% participation rate would be awesome, demonstrating parents’ generous support for the quality Catholic education that is La Reina’s tradition.   Remember, donations in any amount will make an incredible difference!

Please invest in the Regents through a recurring or one-time gift.   Your donation will help fill the tuition gap, provide financial aid, or support other Regent programs.  To donate online, just follow this link.
