A Night to Remember, A Future to Believe In

Making history: Over 380 sponsors, donors, and corporate partners rallied together to raise over $1.48 million at our inaugural Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle Heart of Gold Gala! The outpouring of support and generosity made it a night to remember—and more importantly, a night that will open doors and expand opportunity for our students.

From the passion of Board Chair Steve Hooper’s address, to the commitment of Holy Boldness Award recipient Gaynell Walker, to CRJS student Vanessa’s moving story, the evening was a celebration of purpose, partnership, and possibility. It was a living reflection of the community we’re building together at Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle.

Every gift helps us grow — welcoming our second class this fall, expanding our academic and enrichment programs, strengthening our Corporate Work Study program, and continuing to offer a rigorous, faith-based, college-prep education to students with big dreams and bold potential.

As author and activist Booker T. Washington once said: “Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.” Your support brings joy not only to our students, but to a wider community moved by hope, justice, and shared progress.

Thank you for believing in our students and for walking alongside them on their journey to a hope-filled future. Together, we are building a school that works — for college, for careers, and for the young people who will shape tomorrow.  Click HERE to learn more about the gala, view the evening's photos, watch the video, and - if you were not able to do so on April 4 - there is still time to give.
