Campaign to Soar Updates


Campaign to SOAR – Planned Giving

Our founders laid the bricks on which we now stand. Their vision was for Skutt Catholic to become the premier Catholic high school in Nebraska. We have reached many of those new heights in academic success as well as excellence in the comprehensive extracurricular athletic and activity programs that teach our students to be well-rounded, contributing members of their community. From football to show choir, and from robotics to SkyHawks for Life, there is an avenue for all students to create their own legacy at Skutt Catholic.

This long-standing SkyHawk tradition of excellence set the path for each of us to create our own legacy at Skutt Catholic High School. Through the gift of planned giving you can be part of the SkyHawk Legacy Circle to ensure Skutt Catholic remains ready to prepare young men and women to become Christian leaders and Make a Difference in the world beyond high school.

Over the next few months, President Moore will be meeting with those who have already indicated interest in remembering Skutt Catholic in their planned giving during the Campaign to SOAR.

For interest in a booklet providing details of various planned giving benefits please contact angielohaus@skuttcatholic.com.  We appreciate your ongoing support.

JULY UPDATE – WE NEED YOU!

EARLY SUPPORT

The Campaign to SOAR has raised more than $3.5 million of our overall goal of $6 million. Our leadership team has stepped up with nearly $260,000. A group of 20 benefactors have lived up to the label of “Lead Gift Donor” with more than $2 million in gifts and pledges. The staff at Skutt Catholic have also stepped up in a major way by contributing over $100,000. This support is vital to the success of the Campaign to SOAR.

 

FINAL WAVE

This week we launched our final wave of the campaign, mailing campaign materials and request letters to alumni and alumni parents.

To reach our goal, we need participation from EVERYONE in the Skutt Catholic community.  Your individual effort, no matter the amount, will “Make a Difference” daily in the lives of our students, teachers, and families.  Together we will Impact – Expand – Renovate – Repurpose!

THE CAMPAIGN TO SOAR JUNE UPDATE

 *Make sure you have the sound on when you watch the video update.

 

Great things are happening with the Campaign to SOAR! We just passed the $3.25 million mark in pledges and gifts! Our leadership team, board of directors and lead gift donors have truly led by example and stepped up early and made their commitments to the campaign. Now we need the rest of the Skutt Catholic community to join the effort. Click here to complete the online pledge form. We are $250,000 away from our July 1 Challenge Goal of $3.5 million.

SUMMER PROGRESS
Summer is here and so are the construction workers. We were excited to see the old south entrance come tumbling down, making way for our new secure entrance. Bleachers have been removed and new AC units and controllers are being installed each day.

GOALS
Our challenge goal of $3.5 million by July 1 is very important. Reaching this level will allow us to go forward with the design and bid stages for the classroom addition and other projects to be completed next summer. Much preparation time is needed for projects of this magnitude and hitting this goal is key to staying on schedule.

We are over halfway to our Victory Goal of $6 million, which will allow us to accomplish all of our Campaign to SOAR goals.

WE NEED YOU!
We are encouraged by the early support of the entire community. As we continue to build upon this historic effort, we ask you to reflect and pray about your involvement. We need to be sure we have done all that we can, individually and as a community, to realize the vision of our school.

We encourage all who received a letter and a pledge card in the mail to prayerfully consider a personal gift. Please fill out the card and return it to the advancement office. Every contribution brings us closer to accomplishing our goals.

Volunteers may also be calling about the campaign; we ask that you please be responsive to their call. For more information contact Jeremy J. Moore at jeremymoore@skuttcatholic.com.
