Awards dinner raises tuition assistance for archdiocesan families in need of help

As someone who attended Catholic schools from kindergarten to law school, Kate O’Beirne of National Review magazine is a

natural keynote speaker for the 11th annual celebration of Catholic education in the archdiocese.

The event—Celebrating Catholic School Values: Scholarship and Career Achievement Awards dinner—will begin at 6 p.m. on Nov. 8 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis.

In the past 10 years, the annual

dinner has raised more than $3.1 million to support need-based education scholarships for economically disadvantaged students.

As Washington editor of National Review, O’Beirne directs the magazine’s political coverage and focuses her writing on Congress and domestic policy. A frequent panelist on NBC’s Meet the Press, she has also experienced Catholic education as a parent and as a member of school boards.

Tables for eight people can be purchased at four different sponsorship levels: $15,000 for a platinum partner, $10,000 for a gold partner, $5,000 for a silver partner and $1,750 for a bronze partner. All sponsorship levels provide event recognition.
