Philanthropic Priorities

List of 3 items.

• Greatest Need: The CM Fund

  The CM Fund is the school’s most important fundraising priority.  

  Each year contributions to this fund enrich our student’s academic, athletic, artistic, and spiritual formation. Your support of the CM Fund offers a unique opportunity to help shape the experiences of every student at Catholic Memorial. 

• Other Initiatives

  Athletics 

  Giving to athletics enhances the student-athlete competitive experience and is vital to the development and quality of CM athletic programs. 

  

   

  Senior Parent Gift 

  The Senior Parent Gift has become a tradition in creating a legacy for your son. Each year, senior parents are encouraged to support a project that will benefit the next generation of CM Knights.  

   

  Senior Class Gift 

  The senior class gift is a way for the graduating class to honor their CM experience and future Knights, and to take the first steps to becoming an involved alumnus.    

   

  Capital Improvements 

  Over the years, gifts to build, renovate, and restore facilities have helped CM keep pace with the changing needs of students and faculty. Capital projects include the creation of The Yawkey Center, the state-of-the-art Health and Wellness Center and “The Jack” weight room, Kennedy Commons, Innovation and Math Studio Labs, and more. 

• Event Fundraising

  Gala 

  The annual Spring Gala supports student experiences in the classroom, on the field, on stage, and off campus. 

   

  Golf 

  The CM Golf Tournament was founded 35 years ago in memory of Joe Gibbons, Jr. ’62. All proceeds raised from this annual tournament support financial aid at CM.  

   

  Reunion 

  Each spring, CM looks forward to welcoming back to campus milestone alumni to reconnect. 

   

  Speech & Debate 

  Since 2001, more than $600,000 has been raised in support of CM's Speech & Debate program. Gifts help cover the cost of tournament fees, transportation, and other essentials, providing the necessary means to run a state-winning program that is also nationally recognized.
