OLOL Fundraising Goals for 2024-2025
Last year, we raised over $100,000 from our year of giving, including Giving Tuesday, Lions' Roar & Golf Tournament, and general donations. The support of our family, friends, and alumni enabled us to have a successful Annual Fund. We are grateful for all our donors, at every level of giving, your contribution enables OLOL to keep going strong into our 83rd year!
Unfortunately, tuition does not cover the full cost to educate a child at Our Lady of Lourdes. We rely on additional support from our families, alumni, and parish communities. Our Annual Fund supports teacher retention and professional development, capital improvement to our facility, and to provide our students with new opportunities to learn and grow. This year OLOL is setting a fundraising goal of $250,000. We are kicking things off with our 100% Support Challenge and later in the fall, we will reach out to our community for support on Giving Tuesday. Please consider making your contribution today!

The state of our school is strong. Our Catholic identity drives what we do, and we look toward our future with optimism. Contributions to the Annual Fund are needed now more than ever to assist us with:
• Facilities and Resources
• Professional Development: Afford faculty members with continuing education opportunities and sponsor attendance of professional development conferences that will directly impact the quality of our students’ educational experience.
• Update, Improvements & New Programs: To ensure our bright students can continue their top-notch education at Lourdes.
Thank you for being a part of the Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School community.
Thank you for investing in the children who are here at Lourdes now, and those who will come here one day to learn to read and write, to add and subtract, to dream big, to pray, and to serve God and one another.
Your investment in these children of today and those who will follow tomorrow truly is an investment in the future.
