The 2020-2021 Madonna High School Class Challenge for Tuition Assistance has come to a conclusion! Here is an update on the success of the appeal.
• 114 alumni gave a gift, the class of 1966 donated from their class fund, and we had two local foundations provide funds as well. 21 different classes gave a gift.
• The class of 1966 had the highest number from their class participate with 28 individuals and had the highest class total at $3,745! The class will be added on to the Class Challenge trophy at Madonna.
• The total funds raised is $20,006!
We have many families that have lost jobs or have seen a decrease in their salaries due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These funds will help ease some of the financial worries of these families.
We are humbled by the generosity of our alumni and are extremely grateful for the support and dedication to Madonna High School!
