SPECIAL THANKS

Tonight, we are truly living La Salle’s core mission, gathering together in earnest to enhance the La Salle experience for every student and every family that walks through our doors. On behalf of the entire leadership team, we thank you for joining us for Believe, La Salle’s largest annual fundraiser. Much of Believe’s proceeds will be directed toward financial aid. Lasallian education was founded on the conviction that an excellent, faith-based education is the right of every student, despite financial capacity. Last year, we distributed $2.5 million to 57% of our student body. Your generosity this evening helps assure that this fundamental belief extends to as many students as possible. We also invite you to raise your paddles to continue the transformation of La Salle’s campus to meet the needs of today’s student. The Saalfeld Athletic Center is an exciting new vision that will transform our existing athletic facilities into a more functional, accessible, and enjoyable experience for our Falcon students, coaches, fans, and guests. What we achieve this evening demonstrates our community’s pride and confidence in all of our students’ unique gifts and how they will use them as leaders of positive change in our world. We are incredibly humbled and grateful for the opportunity to serve in this wonderful mission with you. Thank you again for your generosity and partnership!

With deep gratitude,

Welcome!

Our founder, St. John Baptist de La Salle, set the overall Lasallian mission more than 300 years ago to serve all students, but “especially the poor.” Centuries later, we are fortunate to be able to carry out St. La Salle’s vision to make Catholic education accessible to all who seek it despite financial obstacles. Your generosity makes it possible to distribute more than $2.5 million in need-based financial assistance to more than 57% of our students.

With more than half of our students receiving additional financial assistance, you are guaranteed that your DFS gift makes La Salle a joyful reality for students who directly enrich your children’s experience and life at La Salle – their friends, teammates, castmates, fellow artists and musicians, study partners, lab partners, carpool buddies and many others – relationships that often last a lifetime.

The Dollars for Scholars paddle raise supports tuition assistance efforts for student scholars who make us Believe in the power of Lasallian education.
