Business Lunch
OOur 2022 Business Lunch at the Hyatt Regency Embarcadero was a big success! Our heartfelt thanks go out to all who joined us and supported the event. You helped us raise over $670,000 for our school and students – exceeding our goal of $555,000. Over 400 guests joined us for the luncheon. It was a delight to see each other again and have our whole community, including a number of students, share a meal.

Our alumnae panel, chaired by alumna Mary Cassidy ’73, included Lissette Feliciano ‘08, Nataly Coreas ‘17, Melanie Solano ‘18, and Jasmine DeVera ‘22. These alumnae were not only impressive and articulate but demonstrated the vital impact their education at ICA Cristo Rey has had on them. The Cristo Rey Corporate Work Study Program was also a significant factor in their future career choices.
At this year’s event, we honored David Rosati and KGO Channel 7 TV with the 2022 CWSP Leader in Co-Education award for their long-time partnership with ICA Cristo Rey’s Corporate Work Study Program. Jenny Novoa ‘86 received the 2022 Leader in Mission award for her steadfast support as an alumna and mentor to our students who have had a CWSP placement at the GAP.
Our gratitude goes out to our Co-Chairs, Mary Lawson & John Ring, who worked tirelessly to make this event a success. We are also grateful to Jobina Fortson, our MC from KGO Channel 7, who did a stellar job “anchoring” the event.
Our Honorary Co-Chairs were John and Marie Duggan, who very generously donated a $1500 gift certificate to the legendary Original Joe’s restaurant for our event drawing. Thanks also to John Ring, who donated two awards: dinner for 14 at Tyler Florence’s restaurant, Miller & Lux, and another for a special event with former San Francisco Giants player Will Clark at the Olympic Club.
The drawing at the event helped us raise an additional $82,000 for the Sister Diane Aruda Honorary Fund, which will support scholarships for our students. If you’d like to contribute to this fund, please contact Tina Sprouse at 415-824-2052 x60 or tsprouse@ icacademy.org.
