The Development Department is devoted to building and strengthening Holy Family High School through the gifts and talents within our community of alumni, families and friends devoted to helping fulfill the school's mission.

GIFTING

Donations in support of Holy Family High School’s mission are accepted in many forms. Gifts are gladly welcomed for general support of the school (unrestricted purposes) or targeted to an area of special interest based on the wishes and intentions (restricted purposes) of any individual, family, company, organization or foundation. To discuss intentions for restricted gifts, please contact Martin Barrett. The final determination for acceptance of restricted gifts is made by the Holy Family Board of Members.

Annual Appeal

Your gift matters. Your gift counts. From our earliest roots with Fr. Cornelius O'Farrell who initiated the building of the first Holy Family High School, and the Sisters of Loretto who served our community for so many years, this institution has known success and growth only through the combined sacrifices of the many hardworking people, united by their belief in the value of Catholic education. Your heartfelt financial support is necessary for us to continue to fulfill our mission and properly serve today's student body. Please click HERE to make a donation to this year’s Annual Appeal campaign.  

Capital Projects

We want our students to attend school within a safe and pleasant environment. Therefore, we are committed to maintaining the school facilities, equipment and campus grounds in the best condition possible. Furthermore, our goal is to complete the long term capital projects slated on our master plan. If you wish to learn more about our maintenance program, master plan and/or capital needs, please contact Martin Barrett at martin.barrett@holyfamilyhs.com.

Fundraising Events

• The Tiger Gala is the largest fundraiser of the year hosted by Holy Family every spring.  It is a formal event which includes an extensive silent auction, fine dining, live auction, entertainment and dancing all in support of our school. 
  

• Tiger Fun Run
  Start the new school year off on the right foot and participate in our 6th Annual Tiger Fun Run on Saturday August 25th 2012.  This race supports extra expenses incurred by the athletic teams during post season tournaments and throughout the school year. 

Fundraising Projects

Each November is the time to order your Christmas greenery through the Holy Family Annual Christmas Tree, Wreath & Garland sale. This is a spirited project driven by the student body and faculty to raise money to provide for school expenses not supported through the standard tuition charges.    

August marks the time of year to order your cases of fresh Front-Range Peaches & Pears for canning, pies and/or to enjoy one at a time. Sales from this project are designated to the Athletic Department to support expenses incurred by the athletic program.

The GAP Program is a simple way for families with the financial means to reimburse the school for all or a greater portion of the actual cost of educating each of our students. The GAP is the difference between the tuition charged per student and the actual cost per student to educate each student.  To learn more about the GAP Program, contact Martin Barrett.
