Celebration of Light 2024 was held at the Sheraton Grand Seattle on January 19th. What an incredible night with 1,100 of Fulcrum’s supporters! We are grateful to all who gathered to celebrate Catholic schools and raise funds to support students and families in Catholic schools in Western Washington. This year, the Archbishop’s Award was presented to Richard and Maude† Ferry in honor of their contributions to Catholic education. We are excited to share that a record $3.4 million was raised from our fantastic community.

See Fulcrum’s programs in action in these videos shown at the gala:

Belonging for Life: Fulcrum’s Becraft Scholars Program

Believing in Hope: Fulcrum’s Tuition Assistance Grant Program

 

THANK YOU TO OUR CELEBRATION OF LIGHT 2024 SPONSORS!

Fulcrum’s mission to increase access to Catholic education would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. We are fortunate to have long-standing partners within our community who understand the life-changing value of Catholic education.
