Girls Soccer Program Support

Girls Soccer Program Support The Girls Soccer Program has grown so much since the 1st victory against St. Ben’s on the lakefront way back in 2003.  Schools have come and gone.  Meteor Pride has always been a calling card of the program.  Hard work, dedication and representation of everything a player embodies have always been paramount.  We always remind our players of the legacy left before them.  We’ve been so fortunate to work with and coach 100s of players.  It’s a privilege that is never lost on us. When we took over the program, putting De La Salle on the map as one of the best soccer programs in the city has been a goal of ours.  Not only have we done so, but recently, we’ve leveled up as one of the best programs in the State.  It seemed far-fetched at the time, but we’ve been able to accomplish just that, and our supporters along the way have inspired us to continue to pursue our goals.  We want everyone to know that we play good soccer on 35th & Michigan. We are asking for you to continue to support our program with your presence and fandom.  Please consider a donation to help…

Christmas Appeal 2024

Christmas Appeal 2024 As the Christmas season approaches, we are reminded of the importance of community, tradition, and the spirit of giving. It is in this spirit that we reach out to you, our valued alumni and supporters, to share the ongoing need for financial assistance at De La Salle Institute. This year, as in years past, we are committed to making a Catholic, college preparatory education accessible to all students – especially those who need it most. Currently, 85% of our students rely on financial aid to attend De La Salle, and we are committed to ensuring that every student who wishes to receive a De La Salle education has the opportunity to do so, regardless of their financial circumstances. For many families, the rising costs of tuition and school-related expenses are a significant barrier to entry. Your generous contributions help bridge this gap, allowing students to remain focused on their academic and personal growth without the burden of financial stress. This support not only allows De La Salle to continue its rich legacy of excellence in education, but also ensures that the values of faith, service and leadership are passed onto the next generation of Meteors. During this Christmas season,…
