Raising $100,000 is Easier Than it Sounds!

2009-10-21T18:31:00.017-04:00

$100,000 may seem like a lot of money to raise in just over 70 days, but it is not as difficult as it seems! Think about it this way:

If 100 people donate $1,000, we'll reach our GOAL!

If 200 people donate $500, we'll reach our GOAL!

If 400 people donate $250, we'll reach our GOAL!

If 500 people donate $200, we'll reach our GOAL!

If 1,000 people donate $100, we'll reach our GOAL!

If 2,000 people donate $50, we'll reach our GOAL!

With an estimated 15,000 alumni, we should be able to easily reach our GOAL of $100,000 by the end of December. But, we NEED your help! Please consider making a donation to this worthwhile cause.

For more information about the St. Anne Alumni Education Fund, please see the earlier posts below.
