$1.32 million raised for Catholic education

A sold-out crowd of nearly 1,000 guests gathered earlier this month at the Alleluia Ball to raise $1.32 million to help 110 Catholic schools in the Diocese of Cleveland provide over 3,500 students with tuition assistance.

A new Fund A Dream initiative was recently introduced to provide $2,500 in tuition assistance to students identified by individual schools. Donors who give at this level will have the opportunity to communicate with students and hear about the school year.

Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, archbishop of New York, was the featured speaker at the gala, and the Catholic Community Foundation organized the event.
