Thank you for a wonderful Founders’ Dinner!

This year’s Founders’ Dinner was one for the books!

Over 200 gracious supporters of CRSM gathered last night in celebration of our 20th anniversary, and to support our mission of getting students to and through college, prepared for the professional world of work, and committed to faith and justice. We were honored to be joined by our three endorsing communities (the Clerics of St. Viator, The Sinsinawa Dominicans and the Society of the Holy Child Jesus) as well as Board of Trustee Chairman Terry Brady and the founder of CRSM, Most Reverend George Rassas, all being honored at this year’s event.

Because of our fabulous sponsors and generous donors we raised over $945,000 (an all-time high!) for deserving young men and women.

THANK YOU!!!

Whether you were able to join us in person, or you were with us in spirit, we are grateful for your support. As Founders you have helped make this possible since we opened our doors to students back in 2004! 

We couldn’t do it without you!

Tonight is not just about the past 20 years—it’s about the future we continue to build. CRSM is evidence of what can happen when people believe in students who’ve been told they don’t have a chance. It’s proof that access and opportunity can rewrite stories—and create entirely new ones.”
