St. Patrick High School Cancer-Aid Endowment

Picture

For 150 years the Christian Brothers at St. Patrick High School on the northwest side of Chicago have been
providing an educational experience of the highest quality which enables young
men to develop their maximum potential as lifelong learners and assets to
society and the Church.   

As graduates of St. Pat’s, Tom (’82) and Bill (’83) know first-hand the lasting value of a Lasallian education.  The ethics and philosophies taught there have impacted many of the decisions they’ve made in their lives. 

Funds from this year’s event will go towards the creation of an endowment to provide financial aid to students whose family are going through a cancer struggle.
