Dear Gross Catholic Family,

As we move through this school year filled with gratitude and hope, I invite you to prayerfully consider supporting our Dux Esto Fund. This vital fund bridges the gap between tuition and the cost of providing a high-quality, faith-filled Marianist education to every student.

Your gift to the Dux Esto Fund directly supports the heart of our mission- forming young men and women of faith, service, and leadership. It helps cover essential expenses not met by tuition, from classroom technology and faculty professional development to campus maintenance and student activities which make a Gross Catholic education truly transformative and profound.

Each gift, no matter the size, has a positive impact. Together our generosity sustains the programs, people, and opportunities that shape our students into future leaders who become the "Light of Christ."

Our goal is to raise $470,000, and with your help, we will reach it. Gross Catholic is built upon the talents and contributions of so many alumni, parents, and supporters. I ask you to join me in prayerfully considering how you can make a difference through a contribution to the Dux Esto Fund. Your support ensures that Gross Catholic continues to thrive so that our students and staff can live out our Marianist mission each and every day.

Thank you for your faith, generosity, and belief in our mission. Gross Catholic is a remarkable school because of people like you.

With blessings- 

Stephen P. Eubanks
