Celebrate Seton...Our Biggest Event of the Year!
On behalf of the entire Seton Catholic Community, we are deeply humbled by your commitment to our school and students through your participation and generosity at Celebrate Seton on Sunday, October 2nd. Nearly 260 guests gathered in our gymnasium for dinner and a program that featured our incredible students with the theme of "Create, Cultivate and Radiate."
Your support helped Seton Catholic raise just under $200,000 towards our school's Annual Fund with gifts and pledges still coming in! A strong Annual Fund ensures that a Seton Catholic education is accessible to nearly 55% of our families that depend on financial assistance in order to attend. Other areas the Annual Fund supports include athletics, technology, campus ministry, fine and performing arts, and facility maintenance.
A huge thank you to our incredible Business Partners whose generosity helps us to underwrite our events! We are so grateful for you!
Seton Catholic Presents: An Afternoon with Michael Allen Harrison
Please join us as welcome local recording artist and acclaimed pianist Michael Allen Harrison!
This beloved event will be held on Saturday, November 19th at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Vancouver. Matinee time is at 1:30pm and doors open at 1:00pm.
For over a decade, Michael has generously donated his time and talent to Seton Catholic for this annual concert, with all proceeds benefiting the Seton Catholic Performing Arts. Once again, we are excited to announce that Michael will be joined by our very own Seton Catholic Jazz Band for a special performance. You won't want to miss this annual event that kicks off the holiday season! We hope to see you there!
Scholarship Challenge Week
Scholarship Challenge Week is a week-long fundraising event that challenges a different member of our community every day to support our students who depend on financial assistance in order to attend Seton Catholic. This year's event took place March 13-17 and consisted of a faculty & staff day of giving, student & alumni day of giving and ended with a St. Patricks Day drive-up breakfast for our SC Parents, Grandparents, Board Members and Community!
This year's Scholarship Challenge Week raised a record $163,000 in NEW GIFTS towards tuition assistance for our students. This amount, combined with a $125,000 challenge match from generous friends in our community, brought the grand total raised to $288,000!
Many thanks to the OCF Joe Weston Foundation, Dan and Christine Wamsley, the Eton Lane Foundation, the Tod and Maxine McClaskey Foundation and so many friends of SC who gave throughout the week. Thank you to all who participated in support of our students!
The Parish Appeal for Seton Catholic
The Seton Catholic Parish Appeal runs during the months of February through early March and is our yearly outreach to the parishes of Southwest Washington who have supported us since our inception. Gifts made through the Parish Appeal support the Annual Fund and strengthen our mission to keep Seton Catholic affordable and accessible to all families who desire a Catholic education for their children. Every year, Seton Catholic awards over $650,000 to over 55% of our families in the form of tuition assistance. With your support, Seton Catholic can continue to provide a transformative education to all of our students, regardless of their financial means. Thank you to everyone who supported us during this important appeal!
