Why I Give A strong moral foundation is vital to our burgeoning youth, and Moeller exemplifies the code of ethics and the role of religious faith that must be instilled in young men today.
For several years after graduation back in 1985, I helped make phone calls to alumni for the Annual Fund Drive. It was a time to reunite with classmates, share some free pizza, and give back to the institution that helped grow me into a man. I continued to give financial support for a few years, then like many others, I found myself caught up in career pursuits, moving across the country, and pursuing lifelong dreams. To be honest, I haven't given back to Moeller in quite a long time. But that is changing this year – as I am once again reminded of the importance of the Catholic education that I was so fortunate to experience at Moeller. It continues to shape the very core of my thinking – especially in this tumultous political year. A stong moral foundation is vital to our burgeoning youth, and Moeller exemplifies the code of ethics and the role of religious faith that must be instilled upon young men today. It’s hard to say where I’d be without the continuing influence of the Moeller Family and the friendships that I made during my high school years. It's time to step up again and answer the call to be a Crusader. Please join me by making a financial contribution to continue the teachings of the “tradition of excellence” that Moeller stands for. With your donation, you give a boy a chance to be “Man of Moeller” – and with a little luck and God willing, one day you may just call him President!

Honor Roll of Donors 2007-08 There are many ways to become involved and give back to Moeller High School. The past year saw numerous parents, friends and alumni volunteer their time, talents and treasures. These individuals appreciate the value of a Moeller education and realize the impact of their gifts. Private giving unquestionably provides the margin of excellence between good and great. As you read this issue of the Moeller Magazine, we hope that you too will provide that margin and encourage others to support Moeller as well.
