FRIENDS OF GESU SCHOOL

Friends of Gesu School is an enthusiastic group of people organized to support the children and the mission of Gesu School.

YOU CAN HELP US TRANSFORM A LIFE!

As a group, we are trying to raise enough

funds to sponsor three children at Gesu School.

A sponsorship covers the approximate annual cost of one child's Gesu education - $6,000 for the 2011-2012 school year.

Our efforts will give three students in North Philadelphia the chance to pursue a better future. We know our investment will be worthwhile because Gesu students succeed, despite the numerous obstacles they face. More than 90% of Gesu alumni complete high school in four years, an on-time graduation rate well above Philadelphia's citywide average of 51%. (There are no selective academic requirements to attend Gesu. In fact, many students start behind grade level.)

Last year we raised $14,229, exceeding our ambitious goal of $12,000 to sponsor two children, thanks to the generosity of everyone who has attended our events and sent donations! You can help us in our quest to make a difference in the lives of the children at Gesu when you support one of our events or make a gift on behalf of the "Friends of Gesu Sponsorship."
