WE DID IT!
Class of '76 Reached the $200,000 Challenge Fund Goal!
Thank You Class of ’76 for doing what you always do best—lead!
Nearly 30 classmates came together to raise $200,000 for a Challenge Matching Fund
designed to inspire thousands more from the wider SI alumni community.
Will you add your name and stretch our lead to ensure the dignity and comfort of the
men that helped us become the people we are today?
This is more than health care—it’s a sacred act of gratitude.
Br. Draper, SJ, Fr. Allender, SJ, and Bishop Bennett, SJ.
Every donation, large or small, makes a difference in their lives.
Gifts can be scheduled in the Q4 or Q1. Larger gifts can be spread over multi-years. E.G. $10K/2yrs. Or $50K/5yrs.
To set it up, contact Barb Harris the Province at bharris@jesuits.org

The inspiration for the ’76 Challenge Fund came after several of us visited with the “the old guard” like Br. Draper, SJ and Bishop Gordon Bennett, SJ at Sacred Heart Jesuit Center on May 30th. Here are a few pictures and stories from that day. They like visitors! If you’d like to visit, contact Barb Harris at bharris@jesuits.org.
Let’s honor their legacy and meet the moment to do what the Class of ’76 has always done best—lead.
