2020 Benefit Dinner moved to October 20, 2021!
June 18, 2020
Dear supporters,
We hope that you and your family are doing well and finding ways to stay physically active during this time of stay-at-home and scaled back services. Our hearts and prayers go to all those impacted by recent events occurring across our nation. Let us continue to spread God’s love across all of our communities.
Due to safety concerns and government restrictions on large gatherings, we are unable to offer our Champions of Faith Benefit Dinner in September. Today I am announcing that we are postponing our 10th Annual Champions of Faith Benefit dinner until next year. Mark your calendars for Wednesday, October 20, 2021.
Here are a few important details:
1. Our keynote speaker Lou Holtz is reserved for 2021.
2. Existing sponsors will receive their current reserved table location.
We will be contacting all of our sponsors in the coming weeks regarding this postponement. Our prayer is that sponsors will keep their committed 2020 financial support as it is greatly needed for existing operations and future scholarship funds.
This is a challenging time for everyone involved with CYO Sports and Camp Howard. As many of you know, CYO spring sports and summer camp at Camp Howard were cancelled. Our upcoming Fall and Winter Sports Programs are being evaluated and are dependent upon the direction of our state and local governments, Archdiocese, and facilities that CYO uses to conduct its programs. At some future point, we expect to deliver the positive experience and spirit of CYO, keeping health and wellbeing as the top priority.
We need your help today, though. While many of our programs have been cancelled, we have streamlined our operations in order to minimize costs to essential ones only to keep our business running. If you are able to donate to our ongoing operations, we would be incredibly grateful. You can make a gift at cyocamphoward.org.
With your support, we’ll be ready to serve our area’s youth when it is safe and viable to do so. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you.
God bless,
Sr. Krista von Borstel
Executive Director
