Celebration of Light 2025 was a remarkable evening showcasing our 74 Catholic schools throughout Western Washington. Nearly 1,200 generous guests and sponsors raised $4.86 million for tuition assistance, leadership development, and school partnerships.
Chuck and Yvonne Pigott were presented with the prestigious Archbishop’s Award for 2025. The Pigotts were recognized for their life-long dedication to Catholic education and other youth and education-based organizations in Western Washington.
The evening’s program featured emcee Elianna Lucas, Director of Campus Ministery at Archbishop Murphy High School and Fulcrum grant recipient, moving words from Archbishop Etienne, Superintendent for Catholic Schools Nicholas Ford, Executive Director Vivian Shannon, Fulcrum Board Chair Tony Audino, and others. We were entertained by the talented jazz musicians from Bellarmine Preparatory School and inspired by a video featuring four young adults who were recipients of tuition assistance from Fulcrum.
