Who

DOES YOUR GIFT IMPACT

?

Jason

“Any student at La Salle knows the quote Leave to Serve. Not only are we called to serve the poorest of our community, but also future Lasallians. A Christian Brothers’ education is life-changing and is something every man needs to experience. La Salle College High School helps students rise to the top in this world, but we all have an obligation to assist in that push.

The Financial Aid program is the make-or-break point for many families, and a small donation could be what makes a new generation call themselves Lasallians.”

“It means the world to me that the alumni give back. With their help, I am able to receive financial aid. This is truly a blessing, and allows me to have a great La Salle experience.”

— Jason Bempah, Class of 2018

— Thomas O’Mara, Class of 2019

Thomas “Without the generosity of La Salle Alumni and the Financial Aid department, I would not have been able to attend La Salle. Receiving financial aid while a student meant so much to me, and I am very grateful to have received it.”

— Jovan Berry, Class of 2017

“Without the benefits of financial aid, I wouldn’t be able to afford La Salle. Thanks to alumni giving back, I’m able to experience the same positive impact this school once had on each one of them.”
