Dear Cor Jesu Community, On behalf of the entire Advancement team and all the students you supported, thank you for making this past year truly remarkable. Every achievement from the last fiscal year reflects your generosity, involvement and unwavering belief in Cor Jesu Academy and its mission. At Cor Jesu, our mission guides every decision we make: to form young women into confident, compassionate leaders who will make a difference in the world. Every gift of your time, talent and resources is an investment in their future and in the countless communities they will one day serve. This past year has been a year of blessings and bold steps forward. We raised more than $250,000 on Giving Tuesday which helped our Charger Fund surpass $550,000. The community Shined at our Auction — providing over $300,000 to Fund-A-Need supporting tuition assistance this year. Our Endowment continues to grow, reaching over $13M for the first time this year.
These achievements are more than milestones, they are moments that embody our shared commitment to form women of heart, faith and courage. As we look to the year ahead, we are energized by the opportunities before us. Thanks to your support, Cor Jesu is able to offer tuition assistance, enhance academic programs and maintain a campus where students grow in mind, body and spirit. We are grateful for everything you have made possible and look forward to all we will achieve together in the year ahead. With gratitude,
Brittany Peek Seabaugh ‘04 Director of Institutional Advancement
