The Bishop Dunne 100 Dinner
A
fter nineteen successful fundraising years, we are retiring the Bishop Dunne 100 Dinner. Bishop Dunne is incredibly grateful to our donors who have helped us raise over $7 million for our tuition assistance program. Your efforts have helped thousands of deserving students receive a Bishop Dunne education. The leadership and generosity of our valued long-time supporters, alumni, faculty and staff make Bishop Dunne an amazing place to work and attend school.
Introducing “Dunne Together”
T
he decision in the fall of 2019 to retire the Bishop Dunne 100 Dinner was done with significant consideration by the Advancement Committee. Now, in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, it was well-timed. We celebrate the launching of our new campaign, Dunne Together, to help fund tuition assistance, student and faculty technology needs, professional development and student programs like College Ready Academy and the Collegiate Institute. To support these programs, the Dunne Together goal is to raise $1.2 million annually. Bishop Dunne has a long tradition as a welcoming and inclusive educational environment. This atmosphere, combined with our donors’ generous spirits and our commitment to educational excellence, has transformational potential for our students. The support from Dunne Together will enable Bishop Dunne students to become technological trail blazers, artistic creators, entrepreneurs, scientific innovators and leaders within their communities. What unites us is greater than what divides us. We hope you will continue to partner with us in making the Dunne Together campaign the catalyst for keeping everyone in the Falcon family Bishop Dunne strong! W W W.BDCS.ORG
