Christmas Appeal

Christmas Appeal As the Christmas season approaches, we are reminded of the spirit of giving and the powerful impact we can have when we come together as a community. This year, as we celebrate De La Salle Institute’s 135th anniversary, we reach out to you with a special appeal – one that reflects our shared values of compassion, support and solidarity. This holiday season, we ask for your support to help provide tuition relief for our families in need with a gift to support the student financial assistance program. Your generosity can make a world of difference to a student whose dream of graduating from De La Salle may otherwise be out of reach. No gift is too small, and every contribution brings us one step closer to ensuring that all of our students can continue their education with pride, regardless of their financial situation.

Giving Tuesday

#GivingTuesday is December 3rd and WE NEED YOU to help us hit our goal of $75,000! Our theme “Give to the Tradition. Give to the Legacy. Give to the Blue & Gold.” challenges our alumni, friends and community to show their appreciation for the many ways that De La Salle Institute has impacted their lives. This year, we continue to celebrate the 5 foundational pillars of a Lasallian education: Faith, Community, Service, Social Justice and Academic Excellence. These pillars define the De La Salle experience, and tie together the 135 years of graduates. De La Salle is committed to providing an excellent education for students of all socio-economic backgrounds and offers financial aid to help families afford tuition.  Over 85% of our current student body receives some form of financial assistance, with the average award being $3,000. This year, De La Salle met our families needs by providing $2.1 million dollars in tuition assistance. Your gift will provide the greatest gift you can give to a young man or woman - a Catholic education.  You can make a difference by making a donation TODAY!

Fall Appeal 2024

Fall Appeal 2024 Over 300 years ago our namesake, St. John Baptist De La Salle, educated young people with the goal of transforming lives.  This foundational mission, inspired by the Holy Spirit, rings true to this day in the hallways of De La Salle Institute. We begin our 135th school year with great strength and high expectations.  Over 750 students stand on the shoulders of more than 23,000 graduates of the Institute and its storied tradition of delivering a first-class Lasallian education.  The faces have changed, but the stories remain the same.  Hardworking families who have a desire and the determination to give their children an opportunity to obtain a Catholic, Lasallian education.  An education that will lead them to greater heights and continue the amazing cycle that is Catholic education.  To sustain and grow our school, we count on you, our community, for annual support. We ask you to please consider making a gift to this year’s fall appeal.  In doing so, you partner with and inspire our faculty and staff as we work together to provide the greatest gift you can give to a young man or woman - a Catholic education!  If you have any questions, please…
