Guaranteeing
Our
Dream

The 2010 Helias Foundation Annual Fund Drive is underway. Continued assistance to the campaign is greatly appreciated. All current and future Helias students will benefit from your generosity. This year's drive chairs Phil and Lindsey Brondel Pitts '00 have chosen the campaign theme: Guaranteeing Our Dream to remind us that God is the reason for Helias High School.

The drive this year has been divided into separate appeals for businesses and alumni/friends. Donors are categorized by one of the following distinctions: alumni, business, or friends (a friend is an individual who is not a graduate of St Peter High School or Helias). The goal for alumni and friends has been set at $210,000. Class captains have been chosen and many have been busily contacting their classmates. If you would like to help with the drive, please contact Marti Dupuis.

Tax deductible donations may be mailed to Helias Foundation, PO Box 694, Jefferson City MO 65102 or by clicking on the Donate Online icon above. If you have any questions regarding the drive, please contact Foundation Director Marti Dupuis at 573 635-3808. Thank you!
