Wednesday, January 22, 2020 – Chip for Education” Golf Tournament this upcoming year.
Dear Supporters and Sponsors,
It is with our deepest regret to inform you that after a 28-year run, the St.Joseph’s Education Foundation will not be hosting the annual “Chip for Education” Golf Tournament this upcoming year. Our Foundation has always worked closely with the St.Joseph’s Parish to honor Monsignor Caulfield’s true legacy of promoting Caatholic Education. Unfortunately, this past year we have lost the support of our Parish and School, forcing the Foundation to cancel this event.
The St.joseph’s Education Foundation is aware of various rumors circulating throughout our community regarding our status and charitable activities. Please be advised that, although our relationship with the Parish has been strained this past year, we are still very much involved and stronger than ever.
In 2018, due to the changing needs of our Parish and its families, the Foundation expanded its purpose. The Foundation remains true to its original mission to provide Catholic education to our parishioners and maintaining our status as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charitable organization. The Foundation provides direct scholarship opportunities to any active parish family who wishes to have their children attend any of our four Catholic schools within Lakeland, Florida. The St. Joseph’s Educational Foundation currently funds up to 40% of the tuition for each student attending St. Joseph Academy in Lakeland, and Santa Fe Catholic High school. The Foundation also offers a 20% tuition scholarship for St. Joseph parish families who send their children to Resurrection Catholic school or St.Anthony’s Catholic School. The difference in scholarship funding is due to restrictions placed upon those schools by the Diocese of Orlando. This approach has allowed the Foundation to assist a much larger number of the parish’s families wishing to seek a quality Catholic Education for their children while catering to their school preference and geographical location within our community.
It is because of your support, and through Charitable events such as our beloved “Chip for Education” Golf Tournament, that we have been able to provide financial assistance to over one hundread students since February 2018. The foundation has granted a total of over $580,000.00 in tuition scholarships for Catholic Education in the same time period. It is important to mention that without the St. Joseph’s Educational Foundation’s tuition assistance scholarship program, many of these students would not have been able to receive a Catholic Education or continue their education in years to come.
It is only with your generous contribution that the Foundation can achieve our goals of helping students receive a Catholic Education. We ask for your donation and support to keep our students scholarship program active this year. You can donate by visiting our website https://www.sjedfoundation.com/ and clicking on the Donation page, or contact our Marketing in Director Maittee Grana at (863) 535-5225 or mgranasjef@gmail.com.
Thank you so much for your support, we hope to bring our Golf Tournament back in the near future.
