The Great Minds Behind Our Two Biggest Fundraising Events

Mar 23, 2024 | Development, School News

There is so much that goes into planning a fundraising event. It takes countless meetings, logistical planning, auction arrangement, caterer sourcing, program drafting, and so much more! Without the help of a talented and dedicated group of volunteers, our Elevate and Founders’ events would not be what they are today. Our Event Planning Committee has had many wonderful volunteers over the years, and all have helped put together beautiful, successful events on all levels.

Our current committee consists of Joanne Eenigenburg, Susan Fellito, Cindy Rourke, and Ann Kendall. All of these women take time out of their busy schedules to help plan these events for Cristo Rey St. Martin. Each gala takes months to plan!

As Susan Fellito says, she and the other members are drawn in by the “contagiously positive environment,” that is CRSM. Susan, and the entire committee have dedicated evenings, mornings, and afternoons to helping ensure the event runs smoothly and wows our audience.

Ann Kendall, a member of the committee since 2013, remarks that it’s “a gift to be a part of something so dynamic and incredible”.

Cristo Rey St. Martin is grateful to have a volunteer Event Planning Committee that is so dedicated and works so hard to ensure each fundraiser is a success. We look forward to our upcoming Founders Dinner celebration, and many more events to come!
