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:
