Thanks to the generosity of many donors, the matching level of $100,000 for the 2018 Thomas More Prep-Marian ACE Auction Item #60 has been reached.
That means that every dollar raised from this point forward will be matched by the Leo J. and Albina Dreiling Trust up to another $200,000.
Thank you to all those who have contributed so far. If you haven’t made your contribution yet, now is the time to have it doubled. All gifts are appreciated and no amount is too small.
You can help keep the momentum going by not missing this opportunity to be a part of this milestone moment in TMP-Marian history as the current Center for Research is relocated and transformed into the Fr. Blaine Burkey Learning Commons.
For 27 years, Fr. Blaine Burkey served Thomas More Prep-Marian as a well-known teacher, author, activist, and historian. As the Director of the Center for Research, his belief in the written word and vital significance of preserving historical knowledge was to the benefit of our students for many years. Upon his transfer from TMP-Marian in 1997, the Center for Research was dedicated to his service.
We are pleased to announce that Item #60 for ACE 2018 will gather funds to relocate and transform the current Center for Research into a 21st century learning environment. This new common learning space will be a place for student collaboration, one-on-one focused attention, and independent study as well as garnering opportunities for gathering. Libraries today are centers for innovation that foster growth digitally, visually and culturally.
Your donation will be tax exempt and tax deductible but is needed by Sat., April 28.
