notes of interest

Dear Gaels,

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” What a daunting task. How does one even go about doing that? When I am unsure of how to proceed with a task I look to see what other people are doing. Lucky for me I am surrounded by inspiring individuals. Our students are the change in the world. They are the hope for the future. It is amazing to me the amount of good our students do during a school year. In this day and age kids are busier than ever and pulled in a million directions.

In spite of that, each and every Bishop Gorman Gael is out in our community making a difference. But what does that mean for me? When you contribute to Bishop Gorman you are providing our students with the opportunity to help others. Think about that…how easy it is to make an annual gift (see page 11), attend an event, provide an internship opportunity or volunteer your time and talent. When you do any of these things you are supporting our young people and all that they do.

It is an exciting time of year at Bishop Gorman High School. We are filled with anticipation as the students start to come back to campus – what does the school year have in store for us?!? We know there will be lots of competing, performing, studying, laughing, and learning. There will be highs and there will be lows. No matter the outcome we are proud of our students and all they will accomplish. I invite you to be a part of this narrative. Join us at a performance or game, come to an event or help with a service project. When you are around our students, teachers, coaches and mentors it is hard not to be inspired. One thing we know for sure is that no matter how busy the school year gets they will always make time to help those in need.

I encourage you to come and experience everything the Bishop Gorman community has to offer. You will be so proud to see all of the good our students do. As you browse through the pages of this Gael Gazette you will get a sampling of some of the great work our students are doing and how you can get involved this year. Whether you are a parent, alum, friend or just a fan, we hope to see you soon!

faith on campus

Bishop Gorman students worked diligently this year to beautify the courtyard at the New Genesis Apartment Complex in Downtown Las Vegas.

New Genesis is a non-profit organization in Las Vegas with the goal of assisting those who live on the street. Many organizations are available to provide food and assistance, but New Genesis is working to get them off the street and into their own apartment.

This requires a true desire on the part of the homeless individual or family, but it is a huge accomplishment when they begin to see how fantastic it feels to live on their own and be accountable.

Our students renovated their SECOND New Genesis courtyard in the Spring of 2016. This renovation included murals of motivating individuals, new cabanas, benches, and flowers. The goal was to make it a community courtyard that felt very welcoming, and we certainly feel the goal was met!

feeding the 21 orphaned/severely disabled children at the residence at 6:30 a.m. Then they would visit other Mustard Seed facilities around Kingston for the day.

These included "apostolates" for unwed pregnant teens, HIV+ boys and girls, and disabled children and adults. At these places, they interacted with the residents and then did manual labor for many hours each day (gardening, laying a cement sidewalk, demolishing bathrooms to prepare for renovation, placing a net over a large fish pond to protect the fish from predatory birds). In the evening, they fed the children and ended their day with a two-hour prayer and reflection time. It was during this prayer time that Deacon John Breeden was so amazed at the level of faith of these teens; he stated that he certainly did not have that depth of faith when he was a teenager. Each teen easily put in twelve hours of service/ministry per day (NOT counting the breaks and meals) for five days. Even on their rest day when the group went to the beach, the teens put in another two hours at the end feeding and playing with the children at the residence: a total of at least 62 hours each. They jumped in from the get go and truly learned what it means to GOBELOVE (the team motto).

Alumni spotlight

How did you come up with the concept of Three Square? I was very fortunate to work with the son of Conrad Hilton, Eric Hilton, to build Three Square. It was Mr. Hilton's vision to launch a food bank, and I was the lucky one he selected to bring his vision to life. Although it was a daunting and challenging task, it was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve encountered, and I’m proud of the important role the organization serves in the community!

Julie A. Helping Murray to change Class of 1978: CEO/Principal Moonridge Group

the world

How did you get your start in philanthropy?

Building on what I learned about philanthropy while at BGHS in the late 1970s, I accepted an invitation from the founder of the “I Have a Dream” (IHAD) foundation in 1994 to adopt a group of highly at-risk youth from a housing project site. Together with attorney, Kevin Stolworthy, we brought in 55 children from kindergarten through 3rd grade into our IHAD organization, and stayed with them through college. We provided tutoring, mentoring and much more… and helped with their college tuition. I’m happy to report that 100% of the students graduated from high school versus a national average of 22% graduation rate for highly at-risk youth.

The lessons learned first from Gorman, and then from IHAD gave me the confidence to proceed to work with Andre Agassi to help build his first Charter School, Agassi Prep, and then move to a larger challenge to tackle hunger with the formation of the Three Square Food Bank.

Summer 2016

What is Moonridge Group all about?

Moonridge Group provides guidance to funders to help them achieve the most strategic impact for their charitable giving.

I took one of the things I enjoyed the most while building Three Square, working with philanthropists, and formed a business around that concept. People will work hard to ensure a high ROI for their investments in stocks, bonds and business ventures... but often don’t take that strategic approach with their charitable investments. We ensure that every dollar our client spends on charitable investments yields a strong ROI, and leverage that support with volunteerism and/or with other donors when appropriate.

We also work in fulfilling a philanthropist’s vision, such as Guy Laliberte and Cirque du Soleil’s One Drop Foundation’s goal to ensure access to clean water is available locally and globally; as well as a new project with Mr. Hilton in healthcare called the Nevada Medical Center…and much more!

Tell us about Philanthropy Leaders Summit.

For the past five years, Moonridge Group has organized a "Philanthropy Leaders Summit" designed to inspire, connect and educate funders. The event is held in the City of LV City Council Chambers, and is attended by approximately 225 philanthropists. Mayor Carolyn Goodman welcomes the attendees, and speakers from Las Vegas and around the country give presentations about the latest trends and best practices in giving.

Included during the summit is a Youth Philanthropy Panel where we have three high school and/or college students speak about their philanthropy. Although we've had some famous philanthropists speak at the Summit, (leaders like Warren Buffett's son Peter Buffett, the global philanthropy director for Microsoft, and others) the most popular speakers are the students on the Youth Philanthropy Panel which often include Bishop Gorman students. We love having students from Bishop Gorman attend the Summit as our special guests!

What advice would you give to someone who would like to be more involved in their community? I would advise them to do their homework. Find what they're passionate about and research if a non-profit is doing effective and efficient work. Talk to others who have supported that organization to learn more about their experience. It is a rewarding experience when you give your time or money to a non-profit organization who uses the funds well and appreciates your support. It is disappointing when you donate to a charity, and feel they didn’t appreciate your donation, and were not efficient with how they utilized your funds.

Bishop Gorman requires students to complete 100 hours of service before graduation. What do you think is the biggest take away for students from this?

To enjoy the process and know that the experience will propel them forward to a path in life of great accomplishments.

Although it may seem daunting at the time because of the student’s overly full schedule, oftentimes, they will get so much more out of the experience than they ever imagined.

These contact also are very helpful when needing letters of recommendations for college admission, and exposing them to opportunities they might want to stay engaged in and after college.

What is your favorite memory from Bishop Gorman? The day I graduated with wonderful classmates who have become life-long friends, as well as the day each of my children, Kathleen Foley '04, Joe Foley '07 and Riley Foley '08, graduated from Bishop Gorman. They’ve gone on to achieve many accomplishments, and are making a difference through their philanthropy and community engagement!

Their experience while at BGHS in community service made an impact on their lives. I’m so happy Gorman continues this excellent tradition of giving!

his year’s annual Wine Tasting event, took Bishop Gorman families, alumni & friends to Italy! The event was held at the Red Rock Resort, where guests enjoyed delicious drinks, tasty food, great entertainment and of course, some delicious wines! The indoor/outdoor venue was a great atmosphere for the evening! Our emcee, Bryan Chan, guided us through the night that began with a student fashion show modeling the latest fashions from STITCHED Lifestyle and Rent the Runway. The entertainment continued thanks to Missy Cochran Entertainment with DJ R.O.B. while attendees sipped on all the best that Breakthru Beverage had to offer.

Along with the seventeen wines, two beers and two specialty cocktails: the Basil-ica and the San Giovanni, there was a wide variety of Italian-inspired bites to enjoy! Over 70 amazing auction items were bid on throughout the week and at the event with our “text-in” silent auction raising money for our Tuition Assistance Program.
