2023 Making A Difference

For those new to the Eastside Catholic Community or a first time attendee to our STARS Gala, the "raise the paddle" moment at each year's auction asks friends and families to make a cash contribution to fund a significant need at the school.

Gifts range from $100 to $100,000 and anywhere in between!

We call this "Making A Difference"

This year's Making a Difference moment is dedicated to our teachers and mentors and enhancing our ability to attract, hire and retain exceptional teachers and mentors, providing essential professional development and competitive salaries to ensure the quality of our teachers remains at the standard our students and families have come to expect.

The goal for this year's Making a Difference is $250,000. Half of the funds raised for this effort will go towards immediate impacts for teachers and mentors and the remaining 50% will go towards setting up an endowment to uphold this legacy in perpetuity.

With pride and passion in celebrating our teachers and mentors, lend your support to positively impact our students', teachers' and mentors' experience at EC and leave a legacy of opportunity for the future.

Thank you for joining us and supporting this initiative on April 1, 2023 at the event or please consider making a gift today.

THANK YOU!
