ENDOWMENT FUND:
The mission of the St. Christopher School Endowment Fund is to support St.
Christopher School in providing quality education in the Catholic tradition.
Established in 1987, the goal is to create a source of funds sufficient to
generate earnings that will help stem the cost increases incurred in educating
the children at St. Christopher School. The interest of the Fund is put
directly into the operating budget of the school.
SALLY FOSTER GIFT WRAP:
You may purchase items directly from students beginning on the first week of
school for approximately 2 weeks. The online store remains open until January.
You can support St. Christopher by ordering at
www.sallyfoster.com and just enter
ID #357909 when checking out and St. Christopher School Endowment Fund will
receive 50% of your purchase.
MEMORIAL/TRIBUTE PROGRAM:
A contribution to the Endowment Fund may be made at any time to honor a
friend, remember a special occasion, or commemorate the death of a loved
one. Donations of $500 or more are recognized with an established memorial
and an engraved plaque that is place on the Donor Wall in the main lobby of
the school. Below are the donor classifications:
| Benefactor: $10,000 | Patron: $5,000 | Sponsor: $2,500 |
| Fellow: $1,000 | Contributor:$500 |
Envelopes for donations are located in the lobby of the school office and in the back of the church.

doubles the amount of your donation at no cost to you. Your employer's Human
Resource department can provide you with a Matching Gift form.
