Our school has been serving Richmond’s families since 1919, and this is an especially wonderful year for us as we are finally able to celebrate 100 years of service to the children in the Richmond area after being postponed due to the COVID pandemic. We are expecting a record turn out of 350 guests as we are not only celebrating with our current families but are welcoming back the countless alumni that have graced our hallways over the decades. 

Today, our families represent over 20 zip codes, and come to us from different communities, backgrounds and experiences, making us a wonderfully diverse community of learners. This event is a major fundraiser for us, helping to bridge the roughly 25% gap between the tuition dollars we receive, and what we actually need to operate. It also allows us to offer tuition assistance to our families. 

Additionally, the funds we raise will go toward updating and enhancing the outdoor learning and play spaces our students enjoy so much and which enrich their learning experiences that much more. 

We would be grateful for any contribution that your organization could make to help us make our event a success. 

All of our donors will be listed in printed Gala materials, as well as on our online Auction platform with a hyperlink to your website. Additionally, a list of donors will be included in the weekly bulletin of Saint Benedict Catholic Church for all parishioners to receive. I am happy to pick up any donations from you or they can also be mailed to SBCS Gala ℅ Annie Cooper  3100 Grove Avenue, Richmond, VA 23221.
