As many have already heard, the academy advancement team is taking a new approach to fundraising and sustainability and it doesn’t include an auction! This year we are embarking upon a new venture –
an Academy Annual Fund. This is a replacement for the auction and is intended to raise the equivalent and more to help with immediate operational and financial aid expenses.

The public launch is scheduled for the first week of November and, not unlike the auction, we are seeking out Cornerstone donors who are willing to be early adopters and pledge for three years to help us through this process. To satisfy our need for community and our wish for cultivating the culture of our parish and academy, we will be hosting a party for our entire Sacred Heart community in October. Stay tuned for more details on that! In the meantime, if you or someone you know would like to participate in the annual fund as a Cornerstone donor, please contact Amber Hiske at ahiske@shgr.org
