Dear Friend of St. Benilde School,
With 6 days to go, we are currently $60,125 away from our #iGiveCatholic campaign goal. Amazingly in just 9 days, we have raised $39,875! I have great confidence that we will reach this year's goal of $100,000. Please continue to pray for the success of our campaign, with God all things are possible (see Matthew 19:26).
This year we are trying something new on #GivingTuesday. Fr. Matthew and I will be hosting a live telethon on #Giving Tuesday (Tuesday, Dec. 1) from 7:00 to 8:00 PM on Facebook and Youtube. This live telethon will be used to showcase the many incredible students, parents, and alumni that make St. Benilde such a special place. And if you have liked our #iGiveCatholic promo videos the past two years, you definitely want to tune into our live broadcast.
Also, we will be having some eye-popping and jaw-dropping giveaways on #GivingTuesday:
