The Catholic Schools of Greater Kalamazoo are honored by the establishment of memorial funds which honor past members of our school community by supporting students in our schools today.
You may contribute to any of these memorial funds here. If you are considering establishing a fund in memory of a loved one, please contact Kate Willard.
The John Robert Amat Fund
The John Robert Amat Fund was established in 2010. Each year, the fund provides a Welcome Scholarship to every new student who joins St. Augustine Cathedral School. Through this scholarship and the communication that accompanies it, the Fund will share the message that "while John cannot be here, our school community is glad that you are.” The Fund is intended to be symbolic of John's short life that touched many people and to pass on a spark of his spirit.
The Elaine Barron Fund
The Elaine Barron Fund was established in 2013 in loving memory of St. Augustine Cathedral School's long-time first-grade teacher, Elaine Marie Barron. The fund provides scholarships for first-grade students attending St. Augustine Cathedral School. Mrs. Barron instilled in her students a sense of self-confidence, a sense of problem-solving , and above all, a sense of being loved.
The Jan Boyle Fund
Established in memory of beloved Hackett secretary Jan Boyle, who served the high school from the day its doors opened in 1964 until her retirement in 2011. The Jan Boyle Fund provides crucial tuition assistance to Hackett students.
The Mary K. Carr Memorial Fund for the Arts
Mary K. Carr, the mother of two Hackett Catholic Prep alumni, was passionate about Catholic schools. She believed that academic excellence, taught in the moral environment of our faith, builds leaders that the world very much needs. The Carr family has chosen to honor Mary's passion for Catholic education, her consistent willingness to help where she saw a need, and her constant support of her three children's involvement in music and the performing arts, by establishing a scholarship in her memory at Hackett Catholic Prep. The Mary K. Carr Memorial Scholarship is the first in Hackett's history intended specifically for a student who is engaged in the arts.
The Donna Kendzior Memorial Scholarship
The Donna Kendzior Memorial Scholarship was established by her husband and two daughters, both Hackett alumnae, to financially support a student to attend Hackett Catholic Prep for one school year. During Donna’s battle with cancer, their family received financial assistance to allow their daughters to complete their education at Hackett in spite of the burden of medical bills. The Kendzior family would like to return this gift of education, community, and faith to other students who are going through similar situations.
