Fundraising Events 2019-20
SHC students inspired the entire community by raising a school record of $245,000 at the close of the 30th Annual Walkathon on September 18, 2019. We set an ambitious goal, and with the help of family and friends our students surpassed it. Proceeds from the 2019 Walkathon supported the renovation of the De Paul Lobby, student scholarships, and student travel grants.
SPRING GALA: LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! SHC’s Virtual Spring Gala: Lights! Camera! Action! was held from March 28 to April 3, 2020. Despite the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, our community came together for our first-ever online gala event, raising $203,000! Our premier community-wide fundraiser hosted by the SHC Parents Association helped to raise essential funds for the completion of the De Paul Lobby Renovation Project and to meet the increased need for student scholarships during these challenging times.
#1DAYIRISH #1DayIrish, SHC’s Annual Day of Giving, was a huge success. Held on May 13, 2020, the day was filled with opportunities for community building and celebrating our collective Irish Pride! Virtual reunions were held throughout the day, along with fun throwback videos, messages from our community on social media, and an Ask Me Anything session hosted by Instructor of English Jim Jordan. The event raised nearly $40,000 benefitting student scholarships.
Fundraising events held throughout the year are a wonderful opportunity to create community while raising essential funds for SHC students. 13
