Celebrating Catholic School Values
Awards Dinner
The Celebrating Catholic School Values: Scholarship and Career Achievement Awards event is our premier event each year for showcasing our Catholic Schools.
The 2008 Celebrating Catholic School Values: Scholarship and Career Achievement Awards event will be held on Wednesday, November 5, 2008 at the Indiana Convention Center. Please plan now to bring your group to the celebration.
Many of our recipients from past Celebrating Catholic School Values events tell us they consider their Career Achievement Award the greatest honor of their life. They cherish their award above all others because it represents the values they espouse every day in their lives as a result of their education in Catholic schools.
We are already planning for the 2008 Celebrating Catholic School Values: Scholarship and Career Achievement Awards dinner. We are excited to announce that this year’s keynote speaker will be popular author, Mary Higgins Clark. Since 1996 this event has featured nationally recognized keynote speakers, showcased the effectiveness of our schools, and honored some 65 servant-leaders for their values and accomplishments.
Corporate, foundation, parish, school, agency and individual investments in our mission through this event have totaled $3.86 million raised to aid our most needy elementary and high school students in southern and central Indiana. This spring, nearly $200,000 in assistance will be distributed from the very successful 2007 event.
