St. Jerome School’s annual spring fundraiser, Party with a Purpose: Make a Difference, was a sold-out event and a record-breaking success.

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our community, the event has raised more than $272,000, far surpassing our original goal of $150,000 and setting a new school fundraising record.

Guests enjoyed an inspiring evening featuring alumni stories from Benny and Brooklyn Johnson (Class of 2021), remarks from Anne Cullen Miller of the Catholic Community Foundation, and a spirited Fund-a-Need in support of our students.

The evening’s success was strengthened by generous matching gifts, including two anonymous $25,000 matches and a $20,000 challenge gift from the Catholic Schools Center of Excellence.

Funds raised will support tuition assistance and Reading and Language Intervention programs, helping ensure every St. Jerome student has access to a faith-filled, academically excellent Catholic education.

Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, and prayed for this remarkable event.

Together, you are making a difference. Go Lions! 🦁
