Together in Support of Aquinas! A year ago, the Aquinas community reached an extraordinary milestone by surpassing $1 million in annual support of the Aquinas Fund for the first time in school history. This year, you did even more! Thanks to the remarkable generosity of 1,285 alumni, parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, and friends, the Aquinas Fund raised $1,170,627 for the ’25-’26 fiscal year. Your continued investment in our mission demonstrates that the strength of the Aquinas community is not measured by a single accomplishment, but by a shared commitment to providing an exceptional Catholic education for every student who walks through our doors. Aquinas Fund gifts make an immediate difference. Unlike endowment gifts, the Aquinas Fund provides unrestricted annual support that is put to work right away— meeting the school’s greatest needs and enhancing the educational experience for every Aquinas student. EACH GIFT TO THE AQUINAS FUND HELPS TO: • Bridge the gap between tuition and the true cost of an Aquinas education. • Strengthen our academic, arts, athletic, and extracurricular programs. • Provide tuition assistance and scholarships that keep an Aquinas education within reach for deserving students. • Invest in outstanding faculty, innovative technology, and campus improvements that prepare students for the future. Every gift – regardless of size – makes a meaningful impact. Together, these investments create opportunities that shape students academically, spiritually, and personally. The generosity of our donors is one of Aquinas’ greatest strengths. Your support reflects a belief in our mission, confidence in our students, and a desire to ensure that future generations experience the same transformative education that has defined Aquinas for more than a century. On behalf of our students, faculty, staff, and the entire Aquinas family, thank you for your faithful support. Because of you, we are able to continue providing an education rooted in faith, academic excellence, and service while preparing young men and women to lead lives of Goodness, Discipline, and Knowledge. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and look forward to building on this incredible momentum together. Joseph B.
