Words cannot fully express our heartfelt appreciation and the gratitude of the entire staff and our executive board. To all of you who joined us in person last night and who contributed to this wonderful cause: your support is deeply felt and most sincerely valued. 

It's because of you, your loyalty and commitment that we will be able to continue to make great memories possible for kids through scholarships, improving our programs and investing in an endowment for the future. Truly, you have helped inspire our youth to become faith-filled leaders. You are the “life blood” of our organization and a foundation of strength supporting our mission.   

Your generosity will put a smile on the faces and hearts of many of our youth who depend on scholarships in order to participate in our character-building programs. We develop spiritual growth, community, confidence, leadership and joy each year for thousands of participants. 

CYO/Camp Howard would also like to recognize all our volunteers, presenters, athletes, coaches, campers and participating families for making our Champions of Faith event a very special night for our community. Special thanks to Renee Mack Baumgartner for her inspirational presentation.

Save the date for October 12, 2027 for our 16th Champions of Faith Benefit Dinner.
