128 Core Partners Continue to Grow
The last several months have been a difficult and uncertain time for our nation and world. One thing has remained the same – the Pumas are a tough bunch! The 128 Core Partners have been making their pledge payments. New donors have stepped forward and offered their support. We have raised over $1,468,200 in gifts and pledges to date and it’s still growing. Many of you have joined us for a Zoom meeting, returned a phone call, or sent an email. Your continued support, not just monetarily, but kind words, thoughts, and prayers have kept us going.
As we begin to slowly emerge from our homes and return to regular activities, we hope to continue to hear from you. Exciting things are going on at Campus. Healthcare classes have begun on campus. Tuckpointing of the Chapel is being completed over the next several weeks and will ensure the exterior of the Chapel is secure for many years to come. A new HVAC system is being installed in the Core building. Once completed the Core building will be removed from the aging complex boiler system and will make it a stand-alone building. More information about those projects will be shared in the July newsletter.
As we continue to grow and forge ahead, we continue to ask for your support. Keep us in your daily prayers. If you would like to make a pledge or one-time gift, please contact Beth Graf, Director of Communication and Development, or visit www.saintjoe.edu/give.
Have a blessed summer!
