Welcome from the Development Office

Warm Greetings from the Benet Academy Development Office
As I reflect on the continuing support from our Benet Academy donors, I am filled with gratitude for your unwavering dedication to our institution's growth and success. Your generosity has been the cornerstone of our accomplishments, enabling us to nurture bright minds, strengthen the Catholic faith journey of our students, and inspire tomorrow’s leaders.

At Benet, our commitment to excellence in education remains steadfast. We aspire to provide unparalleled opportunities that empower our students to thrive academically, spiritually, artistically, and athletically. Your continued support plays an integral role in turning these aspirations into reality.

As we set our sights on the future, we invite you to join us in our mission. Your contribution, regardless of size, has the power to shape the experiences of countless students, equipping them with the tools they need to thrive.

Whether you consider a gift to our Annual Appeal to support our operating fund and all we do at Benet or the Father Ronald Tuition Assistance Fund which enables deserving students the opportunity to succeed, your generosity fuels our journey, and we are profoundly grateful for your partnership in advancing our shared vision.
Thank you for your ongoing support, dedication, and belief in the transformative power of education.

Warm regards, 

Gregory J. Girsch ‘96
